I'm not really an old timer, but I know that the 1367 is what we use at the dealer to set the proper timming on the older cars. I have used in mainly on the rabbit/goif type cars. I suspect you could use it on air cooleds too. The ign wire pick up clips to the #1 wire, the red to battery +, the black to ground, and the green to terminal 1 on the coil. The Golf has a special hole on the gearbox for that round magnetic pick up to fit, so that the machine can "see" where the crankshaft is. The strobe light is what you'd use on a car that doesn't have the provision for the magnetic pick up. But you can use it to set timming, dwell, idle speed, and I belive you can set it up to see the O2 sensor readings too. -Bill --- Arkady Mirvis <heaterman@nac.net> wrote: > I did discover in my stash the tester made by > Grundig.
