phase sensor gap?

Trying to start the tina engine for the 1st time since it was dyno'd a few years ago,but it sounds like it wants to run backwards,sort of like leads on wrong?
Went through the usual stuff and concluded phase sensor,fitted a new one but its still the same ,whats the correct gap?

presumably leads are on correctly and the rotor arm is in the correct position?

Hi m8,

If you plug the phase sensor in the wrong way round, the engine wont start. I know this from bitter experience. I wont tell you how long it took me to work out that this was the problem!!!!!

The correct gap is :- 0.2 - 0.3mm (based on the Ford Tech. manual.

Cheers M8
