The voltages near a COP ignition coil are generally too low to trigger a tester like this, and this tester is definitely not appropriate for automotive work. You might want to take a look at the Waekon 76562 COP Quick Probe, which is designed for that kind of COP go/no-go testing. Another lower priced alternative to a good automotive scope with COP adapters is the GTC TA500 Smartach +COP Multisystem Ignition Analyzer. I have a Snap-On Vantage Pro and a 4-ch Picoscope, but often grab the TA500 for a quick check. It displays burn time, RPM and relative KV. Pretty nice unit, but there's nothing like a good scope if you really want to see what's going on.

This device is only rated to 600 volts & is intended for 50-60 Hz AC. It's entirely the wrong tool for automotive trouble shooting.

No, it will only pick up as low as 110 v. AC. Get the fluke t-5 1000 meter for low volt DC and AC current.

Hi Gary, what I understand is it will work on any V-8 that has breaker points. As far as the coil goes I have been using my stock coil with no issues. I guess if you were racing your truck you would need a upgraded coil it depends on your usage. I use my truck locally for errands and joy rides. Gary you could also check our Pertroinics on YouTube they have a some good information. Good luck with your upgrade, Mark

I'm not sure. Read the spec sheet. I sent it back as it had such a high current draw when idling.

I have not specifically noticed this with my 18 v Makita charger, but I have with others. I have always assumed (you know about assuming) that it was simply the transformer. Simply put a coil can generate high voltage when its magnetic field changes rapidly--that is the way pre solid state ignitions worked. I have never been concerned by this because I have "always" seen it.

I know this is an old post but it may help someone. Interesting that they'd say 9-12V. It will probably work, but this is what I know about car electronics. I'm a product design and electrical engineer and I've developed lots of products that plug into car cigarette lighter sockets. The 12V power is really "noisy" meaning there are spikes and jolts and surges all over the place. It's a nominal 13.5V on most electrical systems, though the newer cars with advanced electronics may clean that up a bit. But here's the deal: The "nominal" (average) already exceeds their 9-12V spec, and when you consider the spikes and surges, I'd think you'd be risking blowing out your DVD unit to plug it in with a direct 12V cord. The 9V cord not only transforms it down to a lower input voltage, but it has a switching regulator that adapts very quickly to quell spikes and surges. The replacement adapter from Philips is $12, but hey, that already fried! It probably didn't "fry itself", but more likely was fried by the car you used it in which may have had worse surges than the average car. I would get the $20 one from Radio Shack (m/n 273-369). Take in your player to a store and they'll fix you up with the correct tip in the right configuration. I'm not insensitive to your need for economy, but you are risking frying your whole $130 DVD player for want of $10 or $20 for a good power cord. Go without those Lattes for a week and get a quality power cord.

Tested one and found that at 12.6 volts the solenoid coil was drawing 310 mA or 0.310 A. I hope this information helps.

It is not a direct replacement for every model. Essentially if you can mount them and they are compatible with you ignition, you are set to go. These coils measured just under 4 ohms impedance on a multimeter. They work very well with my points ignition system on my 78 Kawasaki. They do state they work with electronic ignition as well.

MSD Tech suport says it will work. An MSD 6A ignition box lets you cut out the factory ignitor at a cost of course. If you are dealing with rough idle, lost power, or hard start a new set of spark plugs along with the new coil should make a noticeable difference. Just my opinion, but use the brand of spark plug the factory recommends and buy the platinum version. There are a lot of variables when it comes to cleaning up idle, throttle response, hard starting. This coil should give you a hotter spark and better combustion.

Ivan I purchased this same coil for my '99 Dakota w/5.2L 318cu in and am very happy with the performance . You should also consider 8mm ignition wires.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Based on the information you have provided us with, theses are NOT the correct coils for that vehicle.You will need 22448-1KT1A Coils (4coils). Please let us know if there's anything else we may assist you with. Thank you and have a great day!AutoPartPro

yes I do believe that coil will work they didn't change the older Briggs and Stratton motor is too much you just want to be sure you clean your contacts as far as where the coil bolts to the case under the flywheel to ensure a good ground and since you are under there you may as well reset the points and clean them or replace them if I remember correctly thecondenser is part of the points setup on this motor

I'm running a stock Bosch coil too. As noted, be careful with the wiring. This distributor is much-much better than the stock. You'll be very happy.

It will measure current well under 5A DC. I've been told clamp on meters aren't very accurate and I think this is compounded at lower currents when the coil is influenced by other stray fields. When I went outside and did a little testing with my trickle charger (and leadtype multimeter in series) I found that it's quite accurate (within 10%) down to 0.5A but when I got to the 0.05A it was out by up to 75%. I think your results will vary depending on environment.

It was last Fall when i changed the plugs on my '01 Suburban. The new requirement for the 5.3L GM engine is a spark plug gap of .045" vs. the original requirement of .060. I would make them all the same at .040 or .045, which ever is correct. Check through Google. The plugs on my vehicle had never been changed up to 160k miles and what a difference. I think the recommendation is to change them at 100k.

I just blew a 10A fuse on my cigarette lighter. I have another that is 20A fused. No issues on that one.

The contacts can certainly handle that voltage , it's the amperage you need to be careful with . The pick-up coil will turn to smoke in a nano second at that voltage but I bet you have it wired for a 12 volt trigger (switch/relay) to activate it .

Trey, not sure on that, but will tell you this is not a good spark plug. I installed on my scooter and lost power. I went to an racing import and it is much better. You can find it on here as well, it's like 19 bucks but worth it. Sorry cannot remember the name.
