I have an old school analog tech and dwell meter. Where do you make the connections on a 24 volt waterproof ignition system? This is for a 1952 M38.

There is a kit designed for both the M37 and M38's. It adapts into the plugs, wires, and distributor. Do a search on Willysmilitaryjeeps.com and I think there is a technical sheet on it in the free downloads with you registering there for free. Once you tap into things, you can use your timing light and meters.

Inflation has hit the full kit indeed! I have a spark plug adapter. Looking for the adapter that screws into the distributor. It gives access to the negative side of the coil. An example can be seen below from Wes K photo on willysmjeeps.com With this adapter I believe I can use my existing tach and dwell meters. Perhaps there is a workaround or any suggestions on where I can find that item?

The eBay ad with the adapter kit may have it. Inquire of the seller. Do you have a manual to verify what you need?
