Hi Luke,

You can spend three weeks at computer simulations and use expensive strobe 
lights, measurements, and calculations to set the gap just perfect.  Or, 
you can spend 30 seconds just turning the darn thing for the best arcs 
;-))  I have done it both ways, but the just turning the darn thing is 
best...  John has a remote dwell timing control that make is super easy:
