This disclosure relates to a tool for and a method of adjusting a pick-up coil of a General Motors type engine distributor. The method includes removing the distributor drive shaft and integrally mounted rotor element, mounting a pick-up coil concentric relative to a support bearing for the distributor drive shaft, moving axially inwardly into the opening of the pick-up coil a guide tool having an enlarged cylindrical section between its ends thereof, fixedly securing a magnetic ring in the pick-up coil while the inner end section of the guide tool remains in engagement with the bearing, removing the guide tool, and mounting the distributor drive shaft and the rotor element in the bearing. The guide tool comprises a generally elongated cylindrical body member having a cylindrical inner end section with an outer diameter substantially equal to the outer diameter of the distributor drive shaft, an enlarged diameter cylindrical section extending axially from the outer surface of the end section and the enlarged diameter cylindrical section having an outer diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of the magnetic ring of the pick-up coil, and an elongated cylindrical handle section.
