What is the air gap setting on the crank sensor on this 93 d250

I was told by Philip its 50 thousandths.

Thanks Richie. I was scouring the net for info as I do all the time and came up with this.
Using a feeler gauge set the clearance of the engine speed sensor at .049 - .051 and torque the nuts to 18 ft lbs with the feeler gauge between the sensor and harmonic balancer.

The only problem I had was the feeler gauges are flat and the balencer as well as the sensor has a curve. I think a regular feeler gauge at .050 will end up being more. I ended up using a piece of a spark plug box with the right thickness and put that between the sensor and the balencer. That alowed me to push it tight and the paper contoured to the correct shape. Kinda a jury rig but o well, it worked. I was worried about getting it to close and scouring the sensor.
