Is there supposed to be a gap here?

Is this supposed to be gapped? Its really really tight. Also.. how can I tell if the woodruff key on the flywheel is seated correctly when I put it on.. I meant it goes on there, but I cant see in there to be sure it didnt just push up or something.

Do I just bend it out? I didn't see an adjustment mechanism.

loosen the screws and slide it out some

There's a screw that will let you move it closer or farther away it should be right behind it or above. take a empty spark plug box and use the flap part of it to size the gap.

Why are you messing with it?

IIRC, it should be gapped to .019".

Messing with it cause I did a total rebuild.. crank true and weld.. cylinders ported.. head milled.. frame powder coated.. ss bolts.. advance timing plate etc.. so im putting it back together.

18-19 thou. The business card thing is ok, but real feeler gauges get it perfect and allow you to see any variance between the two pick up points on the flywheel. If there is a heigh difference on the pick ups, file the higher one down so that they are uniform.

I used a feeler gauge and got it pretty close. Thanks for the help guys.
