Mine is a 88 300TE California car... shows a nice 85% KOEOFF.
I have a Craftsman meter and had the same worries about what lead on the meter goes where... so I did this... Probed Pin 3 with the red, then the black lead.
The Black one showed me 85%, with only that one connected... so I figured that was good... I adjusted it to give me about 50%, and the car runs really much better than the 80% that it first showed, but does need a touch of gas sometimes to start.
Dunno if that helps.

Proper setup for the Sears duty cycle meter is red lead to Pin 3, and black lead to Pin 2 or a suitable ground. I don't know that it's possible to get a duty cycle reading with only one of the leads connected.
