Milton, that's true. Probably the only car I will use it on is my '30 Town Sedan..

Well it seems to work and it cleaned up nicely. And the price was right, FREE.

No, the needle does not move. That is what has me confused. I just set it to 12v when I checked the meter but there is no change in the reading when i move to 24v.

When I turn the center knob to "Set", the needle swings over into the "set" range. It does matter if I have the leads together or not. It seems to be working fine, I just don'r t understand the voltage settings. Snap-on tells me the MT-715 meter is from 1967! Still working.

I just connected the meter to my '30 Model A Ford. Seems to work fine as it reads the same as my Sears Dwell Meter. The switch on the far right does not seem to do anything at all (except for when in the "SET" position). I turned it to all voltage settings while turning over the engine with no...

Response from Snap-on; I do not show us carrying a manual for the MT715 any longer in our system. Thank you for contacting Snap-on Tools.

crewchief888, thanks for the suggestion. I just e-mailed Snap-on. We'll see if I get a response.

Thank you Wrench97, that helps. What I am really confused about is the far right switch?? I understand the "SET" position, but do I then turn it to 12v (or6v, or 24v) when in a test position on the middle dial. The right stitch is like a potentiometer, no hard detents.

Yes, two leads. It is self powered as it has 3 "C" cell batteries inside (which I just replaced).

I usually hang out at the Model A Forum on the Ford Barn but hopefully one of you can help me. I was given a Snap-On Dwell Tach Model # MT-715 the other day. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find instructions for it. I Googled it with no love. Connecting it is pretty straight...

I agree with the other guys... Never buy a three wheeled engine stand, they tip too easily. I have one like this... 1000 lb. Engine Stand

After 35+ years my small Craftsman air compressor is finally dying. It has been a faithful workhorse but has had a rod knock for awhile now and in the past week or so it barely gets over 60 psig (suspect blown head gasket?). So I've been shopping and My wife and young grandson would like to get...

I have bought everything from dog food to electronics from Amazon. Never had a problem if there ever was a need to return or exchange. In fact once I got the new item before I had a chance to send back to return. They pay shipping both ways also. Their customer service in out standing. :scared...

Hi, deathbound. My on going, long term project now is my '55 Customline Ranchwagon. It has a 312" Y-Block (hence the name) backed by a C-4, 3.55's in a 8".

Hey all, been on HAMB and Ford Barn for quite a while now. Been lurking here occasionally. Thought I would introduce myself to the group and learn how to improve my Garage. :beer:
