The strobe light that I'm refering to has an adjustment so thet as you turn the dial the flashes get faster and faster. There is a meter that tells you how many flashes per unit time. You place a mark on the crankshaft and start the engine. You turn the dial on the strobe light until the mark on the crankshaft stops. Then you record how many flashes per unit time and that's the revolutions per unit time. You then convert that to rpm by whatever factor is needed (example: X rev/sec x 60 sec/min = rpm). We've used these in laboratory situations and I think they are pretty expensive. You don't get them at NAPA.
