A horizontal-mount bracket system for holding sensor position with respect to a horizontal-mount bracket, wherein facial interaction between the bracket and the sensor body provides automatic setting of the air gap which setting is preserved such that if the sensor is ever reinstalled, the air gap is precisely reset to its original value. A multi-component bracket has first and second bracket components which lay juxtaposed, one atop the other. The first bracket component has a first sensor opening and the second bracket component has a second sensor opening wherein initially the first and second sensor openings are mutually communicating and aligned just sufficiently so that the sensor body is free to vertically move therein. The sensor body is placed into a sensor port of an engine block so that the tip of the sensor body rests upon a surface of a reluctor. With the multi-component bracket resting upon a horizontal surface of the engine block, the first bracket component is laterally displaced relative to the second bracket component, causing the first and second sensor openings to be horizontally displaced relative to each other and inscribe the sensor body at an inclined angle which causes the tip to be separated from the reluctor by a predetermined air gap. Alternatively, the first and second bracket components may be inclinably slid relative to each other to thereby cause the sensor tip to be moved away from the reluctor.
