Many times on this board, the question comes up about touble shooting these systems. Sometime back, I ran across an add showing a DVA adapter, so out of curiosity I bought one. About the only way to deal with these systems is to have a peak reading volt meter. The trouble being is that they can be quite exspensive for just occasional use, and some are a special item that are good for just one thing. The adapter I bought plugs right into a low cost Sear's digital meter that I had in the shop. I checked it out on a 73 V-4 that I had on hand, sensors, charge coil, and pak. The readings were in agreement with my Steven's CD-77 meter. I am certainly not trying to push someone's product here, but this could be a good trouble shooting tool for the person who want's to make there own repairs as we have on this board. The meter, and adapter only cost's about $50. If it won't cause a conflict on this board, I can post the name, and model numbers. Plus! I want to do some further testing with this tool.
.wont work with an analog meter. as you play with it you will find if it has an ign coil its a usable item. will work on anything with an ign coil to test primary inputs and such. you can even look at how much voltage is actually on the stop circuit if you wish.<br /> its a decent tool at a decent price. I was only trying to point out its limitations and some quirks that are found using a DVA adapter on a DVM.some DVM's react faster than others but most tend to hunt then lock. otherwise the display would change faster than the human eye could follow. for most ops will work great. nice tool at a nice price. doesnt happen often.
