Testing Idle Speed with Dwell Meter 200 1980

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike on  Tue Sep 21 16:48 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I have a 1980 242 DL non-turbo w/B21F engine and 270k miles. I tried to check the idle mixture per Bentley Manual recommendation of hooking up a dwell meter to the red pigtail in the left fender. I could not get any reading whatsoever. What's wrong? Is there another way of doing a shade-tree mechanic evaluation of the idle mixture (I don't have access to a CO tester)?
