I finally found a diesel pulse adaptor for my advance timing light on Ebay. Snap On wanted $314 for it but patience paid off and I got one for $99 Buy-it-now. For those who've never seen one, here is the link to the Snap On catalog:

Another use will be the inductive tachometer feature of the Fluke 88 multimeter. Setting idle speed will be a little more accurate than using the dash gauge. It's funny, I've been a mechanic for 20 years and I still get excited when I get a new tool!
