On page 1.130 and 1.131 of the Workshop Manual it describes the procedure
for obtaining the correct clearance or float for the distributor gear driven
by the camshaft.  It gives two scenarios: one where there is interference of
the gear and the bushing; and a second where there is not enough clearance
or float.  What it doesn't consider is if there is too much clearance
between the gear and the bushing.  That is the case on my TR4 engine.  I had
0.016 clearance and added a 0.010 shim under the gear to get the desired
0.006 clearance.  Has anybody else had this experience?  And what did you do
about it.
