Re: measure gap between rotor and plug posts in distributor cap

Quote:

Make the gap 0.015" to 0.025" by gently /carefully bending the brass tab on the rotor

The rotors that I have have a steel, not brass, "tab", and methinks that trying to bend one would end up breaking the rotor.
The gaps between the rotor and the distributor body on my A are quite different from one terminal to another but the engine runs just fine that way.
