Need a tach for diagnostic work
I'd like to find a good underhood tach that will read numbers like in .25 or .50. I'm guessing nobody makes analog ones anymore although either will be fine. I need to adjust my RPMs in the ol' truck. It has a horseshoe bracket for the coil, so alligator clips make it impossible to clip on.
Nothing too expensive. Used is OK.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

The Actron one they sell at Autozone and Advance Auto is inaccurate out of the box, even using the zero screw.
I ended up buying a $99 digital timing light with tach for my work, comes in handy since it works on 2 cycles too.

I scored a Mac Tools ET-360 - dwell, tach, voltmeter, and ohmmeter. It came with a Ford horseshoe adapter! Perfect! It also came with its manual and etc in its box.
Cleaned, set the zero-out, and put in a new battery. Works beautifully.
