<x-rich>Bill, Many thanks for Grundig VAG 1367 instructions. Now I can try to use the tester. I suspect it is a good instrument. As, probably, not widely known, Grundig - a major German company which for many decades was producing excellent radio and all kind of electronics, went down recently. To me, who always admired their equipment, Grundig demise was a real blow. <fontfamily><param>Helvetica</param>Kind regards Ark Mirvis </fontfamily> On Sep 12, 2006, at 11:27 PM, William Sills wrote: <excerpt>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: <excerpt>I did discover in my stash the tester made by Grundig. Typ 1367. Given to me by a late friend ending his auto service career. The tester, painted blue, with a folding handle, has retractable leads : a ) ignition wire pic-up clamp, b) lead in green protective sleeve c) lead in red protective sleeve, d) lead in black protective sleeve. e) lead with a magnetic pick-up f) lead with strobe light There are 2 red digital displays; one depicts %%, the other angles and total 7 push buttons. On top of the unit a table gives conversion of dwell in % to dwell in angle for cyl. #1, cyl. #2, cyl. #3, cyl. #4 The tester is in my possession at least 15 years and I have no instructions. Can old timer on this list tell me what they know about this tester and how it to be used? I suspect it is a valuable tool. Thanks in advance.
