[Roadsters] distributors

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Patti,

The springs pull the weights in, i.e., as the distributor spins faster, the 
weights try to move outward against the springs.

I don't recall a thrust washer under the weights.

For spring sizes, I need to get at my parts book, and spare distributors. 
They're all in storage right now, while the garage addition is being 
constructed.

Gary
