Actron CP7605 Dwell/Tachometer/Voltmeter Analyzer

To work on a Volkswagen you have to have a dwell meter it's almost impossible exception points and your timing without it but I'll tell you what it's a good product and a hell of a good price pardon my language I've used it more than one time I guarantee you that thanks for holding the prices down

I bought this to help tune my 1962 Belvedere. This type of unit has been around forever and still works great. Very simple three position switch with volts, RPMs, and dwell. The scale is graduated for 4 and 8 cylinder motors and easy to read. I have needed something to show RPMs to set my fast idle and hot idle. I originally bought an induction type RPM reader and it was garbage, jumped all over the place and unreliable.This Actron unit is a must have for older points type cars. It has two leads, one attaches to ground and the other to the (-) coil post and that's it. Buy this and a vacuum gauge and you are all set to tune up your vehicle.

My 45 year old Dwell meter finally bit the dust and I needed a replacement in a hurry. I found this one on Amazon and ordered it. I just rebuilt the distributor on my 1967 car and got to try it out right away. The meter was easy to use and comes with instructions on how to hook it up. I was able to set the dwell angle and adjust the engine RPM easily. You can also use the meter to check the voltage on various circuits in your car. The meter appears to be well made and is just what I needed, without spending a lot of money. If you like to tinker with old cars like I do, you might find this a useful addition to your tool box.

My 36 year old analyser had just died and after much searching I was fortunate to locate a replacement at Amazon to keep my old classics in tune, I ordered the Actron CP7605 and it arrived after a few days in good order. The new analyser is functioning perfectly with repeated accuracy. It does not have the RPM range of my old unit but feel it is great value money considering the rarity of these older style analysers nowadays. Thanks Amazon for the prompt service and maintaining the availability of this item.

Great instrument for simple mechanics. I have a 1964 VW beetle that has the simplest of engines. I just needed something to give me an RPM indicater for tuning at high RPM's. And a dwell so I could know I was tuning at optimume. Also simple tools seem to be the ones that are more reliable and require less maintanance, this one worked like a charm. Instructions were easy to understand.

I needed a basic Dwell/Tachometer to tune my car from the '60s and this one works just fine. Only complaints are the allegator clips you use to hook the unit to the car are very flimsy. I suspect they will need to be replaced at some point. You need to read the dial carefully. There is no 4/6/8 cylinder switch, so you have to be careful to read the correct scale for your car. So, decent value for the price but not a knockout value.

I can't tell you how long I searched for one of these. The 50+ year old unit I had bit the dust and all I could find were the "multi-meter" style hand held meter analyzers. Did not care for the design and the ratings weren't all that great on those units. This is just what the Doctor ordered. Works great (even on 6 volt positive ground old vehicles) and the price was even better. AND it was delivered "free". I couldn't be happier with the unit.

I'm happy with this purchase. Have not used all functions yet so I can only rate on visual appearance.First the "pro".Good quality housing (plastic) . The ability to reset the red needle if it goes off the zero mark. The three position switch is sturdy and positive locking.A nice touch on the back is the four resting tabs rather then just a smooth plastic backing . The nit-picking cons are # 1. The positive lead is green ( green?) . #2 The lead wires come with a CANCER warning and advise user to wash hands after handling (really?) .Last ... a carry handle would be handy. I recommend this product and of course the price is very attractive. Oh! One more "pro". Comes with a very good instruction Manuel.
