Champion spark plug testor

"These tools were fairly easy to master as you just looked at the screen and counted lines. A six-cylinder engine should display six lines. If you only saw five lines, then one was missing. Direction was then given to figure out which one (cylinder) was missing. "

I picked up a AC engine analyer several years ago. Its big, on a round roll around stand. It came from Kmart back years ago when they had an automotive center. I never have taken the time to mess with it, its suppose to be able to test everything. Thought it would be cool to have. Its buried in the back room with other spares. I do need to get it out and try it.

Marv, if you ever want to sell that, please let me know. I grew up on what I think you have there. If nothing else, I'd love to see a picture of it someday.

Reviving this slightly musty thread to post this interesting article on the use of this tool, and others like it.

Wow! That's a great article for my Champion Plug tester. I bought it as a "service station" collectible and tried it out. It was kind of neat but I wasn't sure how to use it properly or what it could tell me about the plugs. Thanks for the valuable article. It was also neat to read the 1960's magazine.
Thanks again
