Mounting of a tonearm.

I have an Oracle turntable with a rare Micro Seiki TA-1 tonearm. I don't have any dimensions or instructions for the installation of the tonearm.
How critical is the measurement from the spindle to the tonearm.?
How would i be able to determine the correct measurement ?

The tonearm sounds great the way it is installed but on some recordings i hear a little distortion on the last track and i am wondering if this dimension would have anything to do with it.
Thanks
Todd

You might have a worn stylus?
I use a koetsu blue onyx an sme 5. It has an eliptical stylus, all the top koetsus do as far as I can understand.
I dont have these probles but some older (70s or earlier can occaisonally show some IGD. The only ones I've come across are secondhand/well used records. The implication being haevy use with a large old spike...an old colaro maybe with really heavy sping-loaded arm and a rather crude stylus a.k.a. a SPIKE!
Best of luck
