The tach signal looks like this.

Zero to 12 volts. One square wave pulse per revolution.

The Lamar Ignition will give a spark slowly turning the engine over by
hand. This can be done with the water pump pulley.

VERY,, VERY IMPORTANT TO NOT CONNECT ANY OF THE SPARK PLUGS WHEN
DOING THIS AS THE ENGINE MAY START.!!!!! :)

It is also easy to start the engine by the hand propping in aircraft
installations.

Normally this green wire is bent out of the way but it is a built in
timing light and system tester. Each device has one. It is a quick way
to test the units when they are manufactured.

The timing can be adjusted by twisting the brass rod.
You use the Mark I eyeball to align Rotor 1 optical trigger
with the timing pointer.

Use a strap wrench around the water pump pulley to
rotate the e shaft for setting the timing.
Strap wrenches are usually used to unscrew oil filters.
