That item won't do the job, that item strobes rotating parts, not electrical/ignition pulses.

I use a Koso digital rpm counter on occasion whilst dynoing, it has wire which attaches to the HT lead to give readings. However it is so sensitive that you only need to hold it near to get a reading.

When strobing, I use a strobe gun with built in RPM counter so I can strobe timing marks and check RPM for variable ignitions/MTech etc.

I use one of these,just wrap it round plug lead.

Ordered, cheers dennis looks just the job, my kind of cost

I have one of those and can verify it works OK.

Odd thing is once you set it it never seems to switch off again.
