Pick-Up Coil Air Gap

  1. Remove distributor cap and rotor. Using non-magnetic shim thickness gauge, measure air gap between reluctor tooth and pick-up coil. See PICK-UP COIL AIR GAP  table. If adjustment is required, loosen pick-up coil plate hold-down screws.
  2. Using blade screwdriver, move pick-up coil plate to adjust air gap to specification. See PICK-UP COIL AIR GAP  table. Tighten screws and recheck air gap. Ensure there are no metal particles on pick-up coil tooth.
