Found today in the AMCA Vintage Motorcycle Library
I thought I would highlight some of the things I found in the library and share them on the forum.
Today’s find comes after member Tom Finn responded on the Forum to another member's inquiry about the magneto gap on a 1934 Indian. Tom went to the library and found the 9th Revision of the Indian Riders’ Instruction Book and the reported back that there was one reference of .020 as the gap spec. Here is an image of the paragraph.

A Word to the Indian Rider
Use this Manual in keeping your INDIAN in tip top condition. It was written and printed just for you-as an INDIAN Rider. You will find an index in the last section, which tells you accurately just where to find any instructions contained in this booklet.
