What are you looking to test, because a multimeter really isn't going to tell you much about distributor signals.

Autozone can check some things, but very rarely do they know what they are doing. If your looking for a multimeter, your better off buying one from autozone and learning how to use it yourself.

Something like this http://autorepair.about.com/library/a/1e/bl446e.htm?

coil packs were a problem on the GSR dizzy's. Fabric is right though (always is), multi meter isnt gonna tell you shit unless the car is off and you checking for continuity, and just because you have continuity doesn't mean its carrying the load it should. From my experience though, the black/yellow wire in the dizzy has always been my problem, everyone I touch slips out of its connection. Maybe more coincidence then anything but every little bit helps.
