Graduated auto mechanic course at Vo-Tech, 1974. My first job was line mechanic at a Datsun dealer, the shop had a Sun Tester like that. They were pretty handy, saved the mechanic a lot of diagnostic time.

“It won’t fit through the front door” Fits perfectly through the standard size back door…

With vintage boats, motorcycles and cars, this piece of equipment is a must.

Always a treat to see a vid with the old man in it. Rip to one of the greatest

So it has a vacuum gauge, compression tester, multi-meter, tachometer, (maybe a dwell meter,) and a timing light. I have all these things and they fit in one toolbox along with some other stuff. No wonder Danny didn't want to shell out $275 for it.

Back in the late 70s and 80s, these Sun machines cost between $20-40k to buy brand new. There were different models from basic to super duper which explains the price range. That price isn't adjusted for today, they actually cost that much then. This is coming from someone who bought that exact machine brand new in 1977 and spent that much.

If you had low engine vacuum, you checked timing, adjusted the carb, checked for vacuum leaks, or for a clogged exhaust system. With today's cars you have to swap coils and plugs around to see if the engine miss moves to another cylinder. And drive them around for a while. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

You were considered a 'car god' if you had a Sun Tune-up Tester back in the day.

Danny, above all people, should have known the true value. As he said, "it talks to older cars". The newer computer diagnostics equipment is worthless when you have nothing to plug into. Shops that specialize in vintage cars would have a great need for something like this. Danny obviously already has one and that's why he put the screws to Rick. But then, it was about time karma and Rick got together again.
