I need some help with getting it set up & working right again. A friend of mine had one sitting in his garage for I don't know how many years. I'm gonna give it a try.

It uses 2 batteries looks like a AA & a D will work. Is that right?

How do I use it on a HEI? Do I need 12 V. source?

The one we had at a garage I worked at also had a 12v battery in the bottom of the cabinet. we used an automotive one.

Exactly like this I've never used one. Is their a light at the arrow on the degree indicator?
I doesn't seem to work, could be burned out, maybe I don't have it hooked up right.

Ok, I've got it working with a point dist. How do I make it work with a HEI?

Youll have to use the module in the Hei. 12V to it and it should work.

I got a simular machine taking dust. Works ok, but who runs a distrubutor today ;)

Living in sweden so hard to ship/selll to Us.

Ok it works with 12v. with cap & coil but I have to use a timing light for the indicator. Is there a way to wire 12v. internally so it will work like it does with a point style dist.?
