rotate  reluctor  until 
it engages with the coupling 
ring  beneath  the pick  up base  plate. 
The distributor 
shaft,  coupling  ring  and  reluctor are keyed  and 
rotate together. 
Pick  Up Air  Gap  Adjustment 
17. The  air gap  between  the pick  up limb  and  reluctor 
teeth  must be set  within  the specified  limits, using a 
non
-ferrous  feeler gauge. 
NOTE 
1: When  the original  pick up and  base  plate 
assembly  has been  refitted  the air gap  should  not 
normally  require resetting  as  it is pre
-set  at the 
factory.  When  renewing  the assembly  the 
air gap 
will  require adjusting to  within the 
gpecified limits.

Lucas 
35DLM8 distributor  has a conventional 
advancehetard unit and centrifugal  automatic advance 
mechanism. 
A pick-up  module, in conjunction  with a rotating 
timing  reluctor  inside  the  distributor  body,  generates 
timing  signals.  These are applied  to an  electronic 
ignition  amplifier  module mounted 
on the side  of the 
distributor body. 
NOTE:  The pick
-up air gap is factory  set. Do not adjust 
the 
gap unless  the pick-up is being changed or the base 
plate  has been  moved.  Use a non
-ferrous  feeler gauge  to 
set  the  air gap.

IGNITION TIMING 
Adjust 
1. It 
is essential  that thc following  procedures  are 
adhered  to. Inaccurate  timing  can  lead to serious 
engine  damage  and  additionally 
crcate failure to 
comply  with the emission  regulations  applying  to 
the  country  of destination.  If the  engine  is being 
checked 
in thc vehicle  and is fitted  with an air 
conditioning  unit the compressor  must be isolated. 
2. On initial  engine  build, or if the distributor  has  been  disturbed  for  any  reason, the ignition  timing 
must  be set  statically  to

doubt as to its  condition. 
Inspect 
all LT connections to ensure that they are  clean

imtructions take care 
not  to damage 
the insulation  covering  the winding 
leads. 
ELECTRICAL  TEST OF COMPONENlS 
The illustrations  for  the following tcsts show  the 
Components 
scparated from the altcrnator, for  clarity. 
Rotor  field winding 
19. Chcck field  winding  continuity and resistance 
simultaneously,  by connecting  either 
a battery- 
operated  ohmmeter  (illustration A) or a 12 volt 
battery  and moving  coil  ammeter (illustration 
B) 
between  the slip  rings. The ohmmetcr should 
indicate  the  appropriate  resistance given 
in the 
data, 
or it should  indicate a current approximate  to 
the  figure  obtained  by dividing  the appropriate 
resistance  of the  rotor into the  battery voltage.
