I just built an inductive pickup using the instructions from the "HomeDyno"
sight.  I already had a detachable pickup from my timing light so it didn't
cost me much.  BUT it didn't work.  The signal looks good and clean in the
signal processing software, but apparently it just doesn't work with the
"Street Dyno".  I don't know why.
I have DIS so there is no 'negative side of the coil' for me to hook into.  I
am going to try again tomorrow by hooking into the tachometer lead.
But don't even bother with the inductive pickup unless you know something I
don't (which is quite probable!)
