For the ultimate in auto meters, go with a Fluke 78 or 88. (I refer the 78
myself)
Probably way overkill for the average Healey owner.
Any half way decent digital meter form Harbor Freight/Home Despot/Lowes
will do just fine.
My Fluke has gone missing in action, and I needed a meter to run down some
electrical issues in my son's house. I went to Lowes and spent maybe $40,
and got an excellent meter. Works great.
