If you are referring to the air gap between the coil heels and the magnets on the flywheel… Yes there is a reproduction tool. Click the link below.

Definitely buy both tools. Neither one is really necessary, but they make the job so much easier and give perfect results every time. I wouldn’t set the ignition on an OMC without them.

timing tool is great and precise .. I purchased one.

precision is also obtainable manually using the VOM or test bulb ( a simple battery and bulb in series ) test procedure

so it all depends on how frequent you need it
