I have seen dwell/tach units that are not powered; they only have two test leads. Is it safe to assume that the units with test leads only will work on 6 volt systems?

Anyone here know?
Don't really understand what you are trying to accomplish but have you in fact connected it to a stand alone 12 volt battery to operate it ?
