It is from the 1980s! The old ones used to have a Zenon flash tube. There is a company in the link that used to sell them and also service timing lights, but they are out of stock. You would have to remove it and then look to electronic parts suppliers to match it.

what does tack & dwell have to do with CB radios?

Cranking and not even trying to fire is usually a fuel pump failure. First be sure it is quiet at the vehicle area. Battery is fully charged. Set in vehicle, radio & a/c-heater off. Turn key to on/run position for 3-5 seconds there should be a faint sound of electric motor (fuel pump) running. Turn key off for 10 seconds & try again. No sound of it running? Then next simple check is to have a person crank the engine while you hit the bottom of the fuel tank in center area with a hammer. Repeatedly hit it with solid hits (not too hard, you do not want to damage the tank) while cranking. If the engine starts the cause is the fuel pump motor failure. This requires to remove the fuel from the tank & lower the tank to replace the fuel pump. You must get at the level below 1/4 tank to safely handle the tank.
If your engine did not start & you do hear a fuel pump 3-5 second prime then you could have a ignition failure. The most common is the coil wire corrosion in the boot and the tower of the coil. Check this at the distributor also. Also check all spark plug wires for corrosion. Best to replace these parts if corroded. If you do not replace them next best is to wire brush and seal with wheel bearing grease or ignition dielectric grease. Use grease on new parts you are replacing also. Sometimes the grease you add causes the boot to seal & air in the boot pushes the boot back off a little. The boot needs to be released of the air in it. Slip a very small screwdriver under the boot while pushing it on then there is a way for the air to escape.

Here is a link to a pdf of the manual.

Do you have it hooked to a battery when load testing?

any electrical equipment shops

this is the same as the as the actron 7680 so you can find it in actron.com, then go to manuals, then to discontinued products, there you will find the manual

I'll tell ya, it sure took some digging to find that one. Evidently KAL Equipment was acquired by Actron.
