Theres nothing wrong with that DVM (digital volt multimeter) but you say DVA what are you specifying? a Digital Volt Amp meter? your DVM is an ampmeter up to 10 amps as it says on the rotary dial...

I have that adapter that I use with my UEI brand meter. I does a good job and the spacing on the prongs plugs right into the lead jack sockets on my meter.

So a DVA would allow you to sample the ignition coil voltage?

This is very easy Walmart has a meter for $19.00 in auto.
20meg ohms
temp readings
10 amps

back lit
flash light
battery check for dry cells
