That is a timing light for a distributorless ignition.
Its not a dwell meter.

You actually expected me to read the WHOLE description prior to adding my invalid opinion...
Go for it...the gift wrap is a bonus...more trash.

It's alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, Did you take it off the jack stands. Running it up in the air doesn't count
drove it around the block. still have to install the horn button and am havng a hell of a time getting the engine lid back on . but it's really alive
on a more somber note..that damn timing light is out of stock for the forseeable future in every sears store in the north east. have to buy seperate ones....no gift wrap
ditch the points and put in a pertronix or something similar and borrow a timing light. you'll set it once and never mess with it again. cost ya around $90 and then spend the left over $ on the car.

have a petronix. might be fried thinking of putting it back in to test.
if you hook up the pertronix backwards they fail, ask me how I know.
good luck
