Hey just done a rebuild on a 2100 a month or so ago for my 302. Those rulers measure in 32nds so it will probably be 14 on the ruler- that's set dry and 11/32 or for wet set. May be different on fe, your kit should contain a insert with proper dry and wet settings and will explain the difference. Hope this helps. Insert will also give you illustration on how to set it wet or dry.
