15. If the gap is greater than 0.060” record what it is. The gap is adjusted by installing thin washers over the

6/32 studs between the magnet ring and advance mechanism plate. It is necessary to remove module,

rotor, and ring to do this. The washers are 0.032” thick. From the gap measurement recorded, Calculate

how many washers are needed to bring the lowest part of the magnet ring to approximately 0.010” from the

Ignitor module. Install washers on each side. If you have an Oldsmobile, go to step #14. Otherwise, go to the

next step.

16. Now push the distributor shaft up and rotate. If the highest point between the Ignitor module and the ring is

greater than 0.060”, you will need to place shims between the gear and distributor housing to prevent the

gap from going over 0.060”.

17. Reinstall magnet ring, rotor and module. Secure in position. Double check gap. If readjustment is necessary,

follow the above procedure.

18. Instal the rubber grommet from the kits hardware into the large hole on the bottom of the distributor housing.

19. Place both the red and black wires carefully through the grommet.

20. Attach terminals to the ends of both wires. You may cut wires to your desired length if they are too long.

21. Reinstall distributor in vehicle, making sure rotor is in same position as when removed.

22. Place distributor cap on distributor. All spark plugs wires should be seated securely.

23. See Wiring Instructions.
