Actually my buddy did but it`ll stay at my garage.Price-a whole $20!I think it is from the `late 50`s -60`s and we need to put a new cord on it before we see if it works but it looks to be all there and in good shape.Made by the Allen co.,anybody know anything about `em?

Was it something like this?  To test distributors?

 :thumbsup: Yup,that would be what it is.This ones a little older but they are used to test and recurve distributers.iIknow it will work for points distributers but can it be used for newer electronic units?

My Dad had one of those in his services station.  They work really well for setting advance curves as well as point’s gap and dwell.  On the one he had (same brand)you could check voltage out-put as well.
You may want to check out EBay to see if some has a manual for it. 

There is a place out here (California) that sell old service manuals, can’t think of the name right now.  When I do I will pass it along to you.

If it's a Sun ( how about posting the model # ) this site has a few manuals you can download:
