.016 as a reference
I remove the distributor and rotate until the points are at the widest opening. Then using a .017mm fueler Gage I set the point gap. Reinstall the distributor, set timing and roll!
A 79 shouldn't have points to gap. It should be an HEI distributor.
It should have an electronic distributor. So no points to adjust. 0.18
If you are using the original points distributor, the gap would be .035".
Spark Plug (ACDelco R45TS) [Gap @ .035” for points distributor, .045” for HEI distributor]
If it has points in the distributor then it is 0.035 If it has an HEI distributor then it is 0.045
I don't think you will find points on a '94
the gap on the distributor points is .016, the timing is advanced 4 degrees and the spark plug gap is .030
0.035 as long as it still has points and condenser type distributor in it.
0.035 inch was a previous answer. I would seriously verify that. I show 0.035" as the SPARK GAP of the spark plugs, not the point gap inside the distributor. The point gap I found was more like 0.017" measured with the points open on the high lobe of the distributor shaft.
To set the points gap on a 450SL Mercedes, you typically need to access the distributor and locate the points. The correct gap is usually around 0.016 inches (0.4 mm). Use a feeler gauge to adjust the gap by loosening the points' mounting screws and carefully moving them until the desired gap is achieved. Always ensure the engine is off and cool before making adjustments.
The distributor points gap on a 1995 Mazda B2200 motor is typically set to 0.020 inches (0.50 mm). This gap is crucial for ensuring proper ignition timing and spark generation. It's important to check and adjust the gap regularly as part of routine maintenance to ensure optimal engine performance. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for specific specifications and adjustments.
