Default Cylinder not firing

Hi,

I have an odd problem. No power coming out of one ot the poles (?) on the distributor cap until you have driven at least a mile. I've checked the pin (? Sorry, terminology failing me) on the inside, and it looks the same as the other, and I have measured connectivity from the inside to the outside.

I am inclined to think the rotor and hall effect pick-up may have too big a gap, is that a thing? I replaced the inner parts a few years ago and didn't adjust anything.

Haynes mentions a gap of 0.1" between the rotor and pick-up, but shown on a Chrysler distributor and my Bosch doesn't appear to be the same.

Am I even on the right track here?

If I pry the rotor out, will anything be adjustable, like on the Chrysler distributor?

Thanks
