The first generation of electronic ignition systems had a requirement to set the air gap between the reluctor and the pickup. It had to be set with a non ferrous metal gauge. That is why the brass blade in a feeler gauge set.

What is the gap number on valves for a 1600cc engine?

Set your valve lash to 0.006". You actually need two feeler gauges to do this--a .006 "go" gauge and a .008 "no go" gauge. When the .006 goes in and the .008 won't, you've got it. They used to say set the exhaust valves to .004. You tend to break valves at that clearance.
