Picked up a timing light and a multi tach/dwell/points meter thing at a flea market yesterday.
Needless to say, there were no instructions. ($15)
The dwell meter has a black, red, yellow and a pair of wires that go to a metal strip, like a bus bar.
I connected the yellow to the coil and got the tach to work.
Any guesses what the two wires to the bus bar thing are all about?
It has indications for points, dwell, and amps. But how is it connected for those functions?
As for timing marks on the engine, there aren't any that i can see. Without pulling the head, is there a way to wrench the engine to #1 TDC?

It's gonna take a lot of Adderall to get this thing right.
