OK, sounds sensible. I do have ammeter and volt meter, standard car 2

I'd get myself a DVM. That will measure low current accurately. Unlike a
30-0-30 ammeter.

A decent automotive one is worth the extra. Will include a dwell meter for
instant checking of the points gap without dismantling, and an RPM
function too.
