You may be able to make it suitable with just a spring change, but... I think the usual vendors supply you with a bunch of springs and leave it to you to work out which 2 are what you need (i.e. there is no packaging marked 'TR3A springs', 'TR4 Springs', 'TR4A Springs', etc.). There is of course equipment that can be used to set the advance curve but since that is beyond the reach of most of us I think you can approixmate the correct curve with some guess work, trial & error and a timing light (with a degree dial on it).
