The hot lick on distributor springs is obviously they are made of spring wire… that’s no big new news.

But the real good ones had a little extra money spent and were re-heat tempered after they...

Nah that little spring is what they’ve used for 40 years…

They’re fine in as much as they do what they want them to do.
