We have an instrument for that, but it does not put an load on it so it
does not show what happens when it has been running for long period.
Some will assemble the distributor with the cap , rotor and coil and hook
up the positive and ground and rotate the shaft or the distributor and
watch it arc from the posts.
Not good to do but once.
