 When I was messing with the Rose system, I simply went to Harbor
Freight and bought one of their cheapo $3 voltmeters.  You can
cannabalize it into a nice display with a little work.

What aircraft voltmeter will read the low voltage (millivolts) of the
electronic ignition???  Mine won't readily do that.

P.S. In case there are newbies out there... the Rose mag pickup sucks.

Here's an interesting idea for those with a Lightspeed Plasma II or III
system.

Hook up the Plasma timing display signal to your aircraft voltmeter
display through a switch so you can display your timing on your
voltmeter.  .01 volt 
+ 1 degree of advance.  Not sure what a retarded timing would show, but 
+ you
shouldn't need that.

You would want the switch to normally show system voltage, but it could
be switched to show timing advance.  In the case of my VM1000 display,
it would also flash as it would be below minimum system voltage.
