Nailed it now the big question is how do you use it? I have no idea.

see the little V shaped legs?

they sit on top of the radiator

then you hook the chain up to the choke lever (be sure to read your manual to see how many links you need, it varies between cars and depending on engine/transmission)
the little black line (barely visible in the picture) should be on the bottom of red

turn on the car and let it idle for 5 minutes
IF the choke mechanism is operating as it should, the black line should now be on the green (or still yellow on the pre 67 A bodies with shorter throttle cables)




(this is a total load of course, I have no idea what it is)

That's hilarious!
 
...or remove the yellow electrical tape and read what Mopar called it.
 
Here is an uneducated guess.
Set little pin on u-joint cross,chain box to driveshaft and
Move driveshaft up and down. It gauges the play in the universal joint.

That's kind of what I was thinking but the saddle on the tester are 90 off. Cannot find any info at all!
 
Since it probably supercedes tool C-3976, try an early 80s shop manual.
