Vintage engine testing equipment that can test ignition timing, ignition dwell, manifold vacuum and exhaust emissions. Engine tuning is the adjustment or modification of the internal combustion engine or Engine Control Unit (ECU) to yield optimal performance and increase the engine's power output, economy, or durability. These goals may be ...
