Hey Blue,

Here is whet Mithell1 says...

Ensure NEW paper spacer is installed on crankshaft end of CKP sensor. Install CKP sensor into bellhousing hole. Push CKP sensor fully downward. Install and tighten bolt to specification while holding CKP sensor downward. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. To install remaining components, reverse removal procedure.

The paper spacer is the Air Gap it has no Numerical Value unless mic the paper spacer.

i thought the paper was just for electrical currents to pass , shouldn't there be a spec for the air gap so you can set it with a feeler gauge? i couldn't find it in Mitchell either other than that paper thing..

Well here's a question for ya...

How you gonna use a feeler gauge if you can't get to the end of the sensor to slide the feeler gauge in.
