%             headerdistance=\footerdistance,
             headerdistance=\dimexpr(
             (\makeupheight-37\lineheight-\headerheight-\footerheight) /2),
             backspace=\dimexpr(\makeupwidth/7),

\stoptext

But: I have two questions:

why does \headerdistance=\footerdistance not work the way I'd expect
(making 'em equal)?

Why is there a difference between knuth.tex and tufte.tex in the
example (try \input tufte instead of \input knuth).
