testing a magnetic pickup?

Anyone know of a way to test a magnetic pickup such as the msd balancer mounted one without the use of an o-scope?

May want to try an LED along with a 470 ohm resister in series. Just place it on the output of the reluctor. Not sure if the polarity will matter. Can try two LEDS in parallel, one in each direction, along with a single 470 ohm in series with them.
