Connect the negative side of your DVM to the starter, and the positive side
to the coil primary or the fuse block while the engine is running. The
reading will return the potential difference, which I believe will be Zero,
unless the system uses a ballast resistor to the coil primary.
Regardless, has anybody fried a timing light due to the charging voltage of
give or take 13.9 volts ?
