Dwell Meter Kal-Equip T-111 manual
I just purchased a Kal-Equip T-111 dwell meter.
Does anyone have a manual that they could scan or take pictures of? |

You might try the Garage journal under 'vintage tools'

Got mine in mid 60's I think for GM cars. I do not have any papers for it.

I think those things are self explanatory.

I agree and they all seem to work the same. Set it for battery voltage and number of cylinders and whether you want dwell or tachometer, one clip on the hot side of the coil and one clip to ground. Why not search on You-tube for a demonstration? |

This should be on the back. And if I remember correctly for 4 cylinders, double the 8 cyl readings.

Tuned a car, had it running with that same meter. Disconnected it & car DIED!
NEW Century brand condenser was defective. APPARENTLY, a condenser in the meter was serving the ignition system. Bill Baffled

Re: Dwell Meter Kal-Equip T-111 manual
I have a couple of these Kal-Equip meters, two are Tachometers, and the other two are Dwell meters.
All are in good cosmetic condition, but only the Tachometers function. Does anyone have these Kal-Equip Dwell meters that still work, or are mine just "special" ? Thanks ! |

Re: Dwell Meter Kal-Equip T-111 manual
I have an old Fox Valley tack, dwell, volt and amps that still works. Have had to modify for the battery and the leads are getting frayed. Had it 50 years.
