    I'll try it on 8 cylinder and 6 cylinder and compare values. If anyone is bored and needs specifications to peruse here is the meter in question: https://www.harborfreight.com/lcd-au...kit-95670.html

    I had a gift card and store credit to use.

    The only difference between using analog or digital is that it is harder to read a pulsing signal with a digital.
    Select 8 Cylinder (set it to swing/pulse across 20°).

    [IIRC, you will get ~27° degrees using 6 Cyl.]

    It's pretty hard to read a signal when the ancient analog meter, which several insisted here was insisted was "better", you get is all corroded inside.

    ...especially so when you use the wrong values and ground.
