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?
