Listers,

Bought an analog dwell tach on E-Bay, to check the Spit's points. I am 
familiar with needing to double the 8-cylinder readings to get the 
correct dwell angle. The RPM appears to be correct (matches the Spit's 
mechanical tach) without doubling the value, however. The only 
instructions are printed on the instrument and are not detailed. I'm 
trying to understand how the thing reads rpm independently of the number 
of cylinders (if, in fact, it does?)
