<p>you've got some other issue going on.</p>
<p>A stiffer spring would have not allowed the weights to swing out
as far at lower rpms. It would NOT ADD idle advance over the
original settings.�� If anything...your original timing setting
might have been now retarded as the new springs would have held
the weights in longer up the rpm band, and possible at idle� (new
springs= no/less centripetal advance at idle).</p>
<p>If your timing is bouncing around or erractic...have to bothered
to check the end float of your cam driven dist drive gear?� IIRC,
something like 0.04" of uncontrolled float can create +/- 5
degrees of timing jitter.� You stack (or remove) shims under the
dist pedistal to correct the end float.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">> Wouldn't stiffer springs give you less
advance at idle and, hence, more advance at speed?<<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">That was my initial thought, too.� However,
the way the system appears to work is that the weights pull
out no matter which spring is used.� The springs determine how
much of that pull is transferred to the distributor�s
advance.�� A stiffer spring will follow the pull of the weight
more closely giving you advance sooner.� This was also borne
out by what actually occurred. When I put the stiffer springs
in the idle timing advanced by 10-15 degrees.<br>
