After running great for 2 1/2 years I noticed that the smoke output has become somewhat anemic on my Bigboy.  I will oil and grease it as well as clean and check the smoke units.  Before i do that, does anyone know the correct distance between the resistor and the thermistor for optimal performance?

Thanks

Great item.  FWIW, LionChief Plus locomotives also love it.   I recently used it in a Weaver I-5  conversion to PS3 with a TAS smoke unit.  I was able to squeeze two 16 ohm heating elements into the small smoke bowl.  Not as lucky with the MTH rope style wick.  I Reaganized the 691SMKP008, carefully packed it in the bowl and results were excellent.
