[TR] distributor advance

[DAVID MASSEY]

 I think it is much more likely that the newer, stiffer springs are a little bit longer resulting in the 10 - 15 degree advance.  It would not take much extra length to do that and it may not even be perceptible with the naked eye.

 >>your empirical data has to be flawed<< Gee, really hard to mess up reading a timing light before and after changing springs.  Only been doing it for 50 years or so, but even if I do it incorrectly, as long as I do it the same each time the TRUTH is the timing advanced 10-15 degrees with the newer springs.Perhaps we are looking at this backwards.   Let's say the weights move out the same amount no matter what springs are used.  the springs pull upon a part of the distributor and advance the timing.  How strong is the resistance of the part on the distributor that advances?  I suspect not very, in which case the stronger springs will pull the distributor part sooner advancing the timing sooner.** triumphs at autox.team.net **
