Looking for cheap tach to set idle

I need to reset my idle after adjusting a number of things and I want to get the RPMs set correctly but I have no gauge installed. Is there a cheap version that I can temporarily connect to the coil just for setting the idle speed?

Sure...pick up any tach at the local auto store. I bought (and currently still have installed) a Sunpro for about $30.

It is not as good a gauge as the type Moyer sells, but you can still read it and discern engine within about 50 RPM intervals.
