Question - Sears Automotive Analyzer 244.21033

Hikin Mike · Nov 6, 2018

I'm borrowing a Sears/Penske Automotive Analyzer (P/N 244-21033) to just check my dwell (not on my Coronet). Can't find the manual and there is now batteries installed (2 C-cells). I'm assuming it needs the batteries to zero the meter. I'm connecting the red lead to the tach/neg term on the coil and the black to battery ground. I get nothing.

Is the meter bad or is it me.

Red lead goes to the dist side of the coil, and the black to gnd.

Will it show rpm’s? Maybe analyzer is shot.

Nope. Most likely meter is bad. Haven't opened it yet to check meter.

Will the meter read a voltage?

I found 3 batteries and tried to zero the meter, but it didn't work. Opened it up and the meter works. Most likely one of the components are bad. I was an electronic tech, with a warehouse full of caps/resistors/pots etc, but I don't have access anymore. Without a schematic, I can only guess. Time to buy one.
