Pick-Up Module Air Gap
- Disconnect battery ground cable. Remove distributor cap and rotor. Remove anti-flash cover (if used). Place rotor arm electrode 180 degrees from pick-up module "E" core. The iron rods in the timing rotor should then be positioned an equal distance on each side of the pickup module "E" core (misaligned).
- Using feeler gauges, check air gap. If not to specifications, loosen 2 screws retaining pick-up module to pick-up arm. Place feeler gauge between iron rod and core of pick-up module and tighten screws. After tightening screws, recheck air gap.
