The supplied magnet of the pickup assembly can only be installed in one position to
operate correctly. The magnet has a black stripe on one end to indicate its polarity
and correct position. This black line must point towards the pickup assembly as
shown in the figure. Also, the orange stripe must point towards the reluctor of the
distributor.
1. Position the magnet on the bottom of the pickup mount, with the black stripe on the side of the magnet facing the pickup (Figure 1).
The air gap between the pickup and reluctor should be between .018” - .030”.
2. Place a small bead of silicone sealer on the back of the pickup assembly and place it in the distributor housing. Most gasket silicone
sealers can be used. Apply a thin, but uniform layer of the supplied heat sink compound to the bottom surface of the module.
3. The existing hardware must be re-used to secure the pickup and, the module to the housing. Torque the pickup screws to 25 in-lb,
and the module screws to 10 in-lb.
