Hi Dr.,

It's been a while since I've changed my primary tap point, so you're asking
me something that I don't recall that clearly.  However, I do know that it
helped a great deal into getting the right whole turn.  As to the fractions
of a turn, you'll have to wait for spring so I can get out to my shop and
try it out...much too cold right now, and there's no heating system there!
I do use the meter to adjust the airflow on my hyperbaric gap to match the
power setting I want to run the coil at...works great for that, just dial
in the max indication and I've got the optimum quenching.
