Use a brass feeler gauge. Minimun .08"  Maximum .10"

do not remember the gap, but yes need non metalic or brass feeler  guage

never did figure out the exact problem, just know that it would fire
when  I
would let off of the key, but not when cranking, and like you I had even

tried  a jumper direct from battery,,,,,,,,,,,

Dodger, Thanks for the reply-- the distributor looks fairly  new. I did
not
take off the cap. In your problem was the shaft wobbly to  cause the
iconsistancy in the gap?  Do I need a non metalic feeler  guage to check

all
the gaps around the reluctor - stator? What should the  gap be?
