[Vwdiesel] $6.99 Ammeter from Canadian Tire

[Mike & Coreen Smith]

At first glance I can't find any numbers on this meter at all.
Bondo Golfy is still @ the shop.  Probably won't pick it up today as
it's -15*C here, snowing
and blowing like the dickens. (gusts of 45km/h......BRRRRR)

Here's the link to the one I purchased.  Can you believe they had it locked
up in a display case?
The sales clerk gave me a blank stare when I asked for an
"AMMETER"......LOL!

I Hagar has no connection to cTc whatever.. ----------This is a 2 "
instrument
and it is awesome for 6.99.     Mike look at the bottom of dial --does it
say   C700  -  100  - 37 ?     cTc      #    34 - 0114 - 0.

For you NON  HAM types      remember    digital readout does NOT mean
accute.
Meters are all over the landscape.  -----Only a comparasion to a STANDARD
will
assure  it is accurate.     For testing  glowplugs ?   accuracy is of no
importance
repeatability is.

I am ticled pink with mine  ---    4 plugs firing ?  =  60 Amps     2 plugs
?    30 Amps..

Total time of test ?   30 seconds or less. ---And nothing to disconnect.
Line up a Hundred
Rabbits side by side  and pay me 2 dollars each  ----there is my Cider for
the month.
And that is before coffee  break.

Today I promised to fool around with that piece of GM garbage  called a
Cavalier.
on a Sunday ?   ----outright blashphemy. If owner was a male ?   I would
tell him
to go to hell. --YIEKS.
Give me a Rabbit to work on ---any time.

Hagar.

PS :   I have many meters that I owned since 1945  and they still
work.Really
good meters have  RUBY     bearings   and GOLD  springs  ----and fancy
magnets.  ----Gavrik Peterson gave me one -----mind boggling magnet for its
size.
