The module mounts on a C shaped plate that mounts to a round plate in top of the dist. with no adjustment in either for setting gap. Al
Maybe the adjustment is factory set? I don't know. My dist is OEM and maybe that is the difference. Would have to talk to their tech folks to find out. This whole thing is very odd so what are we missing??
