CDI for SC's........

Dick,

The SC's have ignition rotors and no points. Would this tester of yours be able to distinguish a bad CDI from a good one? The two (2) most common CDI's used in 911 cars are the 3-pin (pre-'78) and 6-pin CDI ('78-'83). Aside from switching a good working unit in place of a 'suspect' CDI, a typical DIY'er won't have access to sophisticated electronic equipment to measure the square wave except for a few electronic guys.

I was thinking of something like they use to test electrical outlets. Plug the gizmo and it indicates by the light/s which wire is wrong or everything normal. Keep up the good work.
