Among the plethora of tools I have, I'd like to get some DeLorean specific items. I do want the Oil pressure gauge noted in the workshop manual as well as a CIS pressure tester. Where can I find them?

Anything else of note that can be useful?

I purchased my CIS pressure tester from John Hervey:

NAPA used to sell the CIS tester kit... I picked up one there many years ago and they gave me a steep discount because it had been sitting on the shelf for a while and they wanted to get rid of it :)

I got this fuel pressure kit from Amazon in January. Works find, but it was $60 cheaper when I bought it just 3 months ago. Not sure why the price spiked like that.

I bought the K-Jet fuel pressure tester from amazon - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002SR5NU/ref=oh_o03_s00_i00_details

I got a dwell meter from amazon as well - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00062YUUS/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details

PS: Now I wish I'd set up an amazon affiliate account! :)

The analog meters are actually a bit better for our car, so you can watch the needle swing and see that it's in the right range.

I've heard the digital ones are a bit harder to read in this case.

Well, I got a dwell meter already. Im always looking to upgrade. What brand stays recommended? Or does it not really matter?
