I just got off the phone with the MSD Tech Line (915) 855-7123 after speaking to a 6AL/Billet Dist tech named Dray. He said there is currently nothing either on their website nor on the installation sheet that comes with the replacement magnetic pickup for our distributors, but the tech dept is working as we speak on a bulletin to update their information regarding testing both for resistance (to confirm if the pickup is within spec) and gap between the reluctor and the pickup itself (whether it triggers the box or not). He confirmed the new spec sheet will state the pickup should be gapped between .025 and .035". I guessed and set it at .030. Problem solved, I think.
I know it was on the sheet. It wouldn't be the first time a MSD tech wasn't up to speed. I had no other source to give me the required info. I also remember trying to figure out about the RTV too. The instruction talked to that. I know I'm not halucinating?? I'll try looking a little more in the garage to see if it pops up. It's got me bothered now..
