I'm curious about which is more accurate generally, when it comes to either analog or digital engine analyzers? I am leaning more towards finding an older handheld analog meter as opposed to a newer digital. Is it anything otherthan personal preference?

What do you mean by "engine analyzer"? If you mean a volt/ohm/miliamp meter, they both have their place. A digital meter will not "load" a circuit, and is better for testing low current circuits, and doing voltage drop tests. A analog meter will load a circuit, and can be used to detect bad connections (as can a test light). Analog meters can be purchased with high input impedence, but are very expensive. Also a analog meter is better a "seeing" varying voltage. A good example of this is checking the output of the instrument voltage regulator.
PS: You should not use a test light or analog meter on a computer car, unless you know exactly what circuit you are testing.

Thats what they are officially called -engine analysers that measure RPM and DWELL and usually volts, amps, and ohms as well. I was using a fairly decent digital for sometime but I find it alittle annoying with the numbers boucing around trying to set proper RPM. An analog with needle, however, would be more stable since you can pysically see the needle move up to your desired notch. A few years ago(well, more than a few) there was a big surge in cars and aftermarket gauges that went digital, but apparently it didnt catch because most still prefer analog speedometers and gauges.
