  2. Crank starter motor or use Jumper Switch (US 4480/3 ) for 10 seconds to develop fuel pressure. Lift sensor plate slightly until resistance is felt. Minimum clearance is any noticeable free play. Maximum clearance is .078" (2 mm) up to sensor cone.
  3. If free play clearance is incorrect, remove fuel distributor. Check basic adjustment of sensor plate lever. Install fuel distributor and repeat free play clearance check. If still incorrect, adjust sensor plate clearance with control piston stop screw.
