The two finished distributors are machine tested and adjusted with dwell meter running approx 1000 rpm. The drivers side is adjusted per the ford bible at 27 degrees wit the pass side blocked off , then the total is set with the block removed to a total of 36 degrees , Unit is ran on machine for a few minutes and properly lubed .
I then this morning checked the point gap on both units with a feeler gausge . All four were pretty exact at .016 with feeler gauge . A pretty much perfect world so far , will check the other two this after noon ........

I get this call from time to time :

Jim ,i got your distributor in the mail yesterday and my friend and i were looking at it . Looks really really great but LOOKS like the point gap is incorrect ???

ME: Did your friend tell ya that ???? AND does he drive a chevrolet hot rod ???

Yes he does have a chevrolet !
Good tell your friend to get in his chevy and go home , then install hte distributor and drive it !!!!

I developed this with mechanics looks and feels .....reb

Jim, I couldnt even tell you what the gap is on the units I send out.. But... If your gap is .016 on the Early units that in a round about way answers my curiousity.
