Making test equipment from old car parts is such a neat idea. Happy New Year!

Thank You! Happy New Year

The inductive trigger pulses are very simple and easy to imitate by simple ( only one capacitor and one resistor) RC differentiator circuit, driven by square wave generator . The output signal is AC signal very similar to the original signal and for testing purposes works flawlessly !

Yeah, but it's not as cool as repurposing an old distributor.😁
