Crazy Distributor

How thick is rolling paper? Looks like a thick rolling paper is only about .013", many are thinner. A TO30 calls for .022" point gap, which is more than any rolling paper thickness I find. I always used a flap off the box the points came in to set them. I think rolling paper would clean them.

Thanks. Actually i did set the static timing with a thin piece of paper, same as shown in your picture. That will get it started so i can use a light to get it right.

NOT gapping the points, setting the timing.

Put timing mark at 6o BTDC. Rotate distributor until the paper will just slip out of closed points , e.g. points open.

Sorry, my error.
