Hello redfish.... the gap I referred two is to the ground contact to shunt the windings and stop the motor. Park contact is normally closed so the only way to adjust timing would be to bend it away from the cam (little hump). I tried that with no luck. I did get it to work by grinding out the cam and fabricating a new one and relocating it on the gear. Works perfectly, but not very satisfying because I never did find out how it was designed to work from the factory.
Thanks for your help.
