Turn the flywheel around ,so that the magnets are positioned where the coil mounts.Now place a strip of very thin cardboard(from a birthday card,-spark plug packet,etc)across the magnet,and let the coil stick to the flywheel.Tighten the coil screws, and rotate the flywheel to remove the cardboard.I had a small motor repair shop and i used this method all the time.

For the coil gap use a cover from a book of matches, from the non-metallic part to the coil. The points if you have them is .020 the spark plug is .030. I usually set the coil tightly against the match cover against the coil. Then turn it to see if it clears the magnetic part of fly wheel.
