That's a serious old school compression tester. I think you need the old style thermo paper for that thing.

Can you still even get that stuff? Probably have to make your own

OH MAN!!! I have one of those old compression testers too. I even have the spark plug fitting thinga-ma-jig for it and some old thermal paper sitting in it. I remember using on of these when I was a kid at a friends shop and thought it was the coolest thing ever.

I got the one I have now when a local Mazda shop closed down a few years ago. Cool case for it. Didn't know it was supposed to have one!

Only die hard rotor heads like us get excited by these antiques.
