Not particularly useful, IMO, but might be fun to play with. If it's really
that old, then there is virtually no chance it will be sensitive enough to read
CO from a modern emissions controlled engine ... which will make it about right
for a TR3. But it won't tell you which carb needs to be adjusted, or if you get
one carb rich and the other lean. The "lift the piston" test is simpler and
more accurate, IMO.
I like playing with old tools ... if you don't want it, I do.
