But every motor shop I've gone to resulted in blank expressions on staff faces, when I as for a Tach/Dwell Meter.
They are quick to point me to the tachometer though.
Is this the same thing? Two ways of saying the same thing? Not the same thing?

Tach/Dwell meter
Right, I'm supposed to get one of these. I understand that they are used in order to measure RPM when adjusting idling speed.

Re: Tach/Dwell meter
Hmmmm.
After some googleing I believe I've answered my own question.
NO! The are not the same thing. Tach-Dwell Meter refers to the combination of a tachometer and a dwell meter.
Something like this: http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?ITA ... y=19m5#faq.
Anyone care to suggest a reliable, reasonably priced model as well as supplier?
