[Spits] Pertronix in 1980 Spitfire

Hi,

I have a Pertronix unit in my 1980 Spitfire (45DM4).  The Ignitor plate is held 
in place using one screw, so it can pivot some and change the gap between the 
ignitor and the magnetic sleeve.  

I contacted Pertronix - they said I don't need to worry about the gap as it is 
preset.  But since the ignitor plate will pivot, the gap can change.

Anyone have any suggestions on how it is properly positioned?

Thanks,
Roger Elliott
