Maybe the random readings are due to all the ignition noise from Model A when running?

My experience even with Fluke meters is that they go wacky near copper spark plug wires.

This was 45 years with the company Fluke 77 meter. I wonder if radio suppression wires would help? Found literature on meter says it was an 8020A

Saw same thing when using Textronics 454 and 465 B Oscilloscope near the running engine.

I will have to dig out one of the Tex 2235's or a 454 or 465Bs from "The Legacy Lagoon" as my brother calls my basement storage area and try it again with RS wires
