Verne, I found a place that has leads for the Sun machines. I dont know if they are for your application but they are for my 1115. I also just bought a new inductive pickup off of ebay for $17.

MuscleCar Enthusiast did a pretty thorough multi page write up on Sun Test equipment.
Pictures,specs,model upgrades,price speculations,trouble shooting and a few possible parts outlets too.
All researched from a guy who's as hardcore on Sun equipment,as most of us are about the cars from that era.
It was printed sometime during the Summer/Fall 2006 I believe.

I sold all my issues of that magazine to Ngtflyr on here.
Maybe he,or someone else from here can dig it out.
I'm almost certain it was one of the issues between Spring/Summer/Fall 2006.
It really was very informative,with info on how to contact the guy who's known as "Mr.Sun".

After I get back from Alabama and Texas I will take a look and try to find the article. Won't be back for a little over a week though. I know where two Sun Analysers are sitting in Oklahoma, south of OK City if anyone is interested I can hook you up with the owner.

I located a replacement red cable and inductive pickup (about $85 total) and all of the electrical diagnostic stuff seems to work now. I haven't played with the exhaust analyzer portion yet. I think that will take a bit more tinkering to get it working.

I spent a few hours trying to locate an auto parts store that had the NGK plugs for a hemi in stock. (Since everyone on the site recommends them) I finally found 8 plugs this afternoon about 25 miles from the house. I picked them up (plus a set for the T/A too) and installed them.

I replaced all the plugs and she runs a lot smoother:
