✔ Compact and easy-to-use design
The Ignition Spark Tester for Classic Cars is designed to determine whether ignition voltage is present and to evaluate ignition system performance in classic and vintage vehicles.
Unlike a conventional spark plug, the tester features an adjustable spark gap that allows users to increase or decrease the distance required for spark generation. This makes it possible to evaluate the ignition system's reserve performance and determine its operating condition more accurately.
By adjusting the spark distance, the tester can reveal weak ignition systems that may still generate a spark under low-load conditions but fail under higher ignition demands.
A properly functioning ignition system should be capable of producing a spark across an air gap of at least 15 mm.
Suitable for workshops, vehicle restoration and maintenance applications.

Important Safety Information
Warning — Risk of damage to ignition system
⚠ On multi-cylinder engines, remaining spark plug connectors must be connected to ground.
⚠ Failure to ground unused ignition leads may damage ignition modules or related components.
⚠ If spark plugs are removed from the engine, ensure no combustible air/fuel mixture can escape.
⚠ The spark gap on the tester acts as an open ignition source and may create an explosion risk.
Warning — Danger to life
⚠ Electronic ignition systems may generate voltages exceeding 30,000V.
⚠ Never touch ignition system components or the tester during operation.
⚠ Adjust the spark gap only with the ignition switched OFF.
