Pick-Up Coils - Air Gaps

NOTE: Air gap is non-adjustable on the Hall Effect pick-up assembly used on 4-cyl. engines.

Loosen pick-up coil hold down screw and align one reluctor blade with pick-up pole being checked. Set air gap using a 0.006" non-magnetic feeler gauge. Tighten hold down screw. Check gap with a non-magnetic feeler gauge that is 0.002" larger than setting gauge. On models with two pick-ups, set the "Start" pick-up at 0.006" clearance and the "Run" pick-up at 0.012" clearance. Again check clearance with a non-magnetic feeler gauge that is 0.002" larger than gauge used to set air gap. Gauge should not fit between reluctor tooth and pick-up pole.

NOTE: Do not force larger feeler gauge into air gap when checking.
