RivNut Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 DO NOT run your engine to that 7,000 RPM redline. 5,000 RPM is the maximum for you engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it should work fine with an automatic transmission. It will be a little harder to read the idle speed with the meter you have since it covers a larger range of RPM than a diagnostic tachometer typically does. It should still allow you to determine whether the idle speed is appropriate. It should be about 600 RPM in Drive ("D"). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine looks like the one in the attached picture. I have a tach feature on my voltmeter, but haven't seen one of these in years. I don't think you can still even buy them.

kegart Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I still have the Sears dwell/ tachometer I bought in 1969. I didn't need it for a long time, glad I kept it. Kevin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Keep your eyes open on Craigslist or garage sales. An ex-neighbor gave me his Sears dwell/tach as he was packing up his garage stuff in preparation to move. They're still out there... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
