Where to Find Distributor Springs and Weights?
I want to try and put my points distributor (112008) close to original timing.
The last time I tried to get it running, idle timing was erratic and I want to eliminate the distributor as a possible source. I just replaced the 50-yr-old harmonic balancer as another possible contributor. What are the stock weights or where can I look that up? Seems the info is available for HEI but I haven't found a reference for points distributor parts. Is there anyone that sells used originals? I even tried buying a used distributor off eBay and the weights were not stamped with codes so I don't trust they are original. I attached some info I have about the stock timing and what I believe is the current setup with Crane springs. I want to make sure the mechanical advance does not kick in at idle and I don't trust these old measurements. I think they were guesses captured with the engine running and a sketchy tach reading. Maybe it's OK but I'd feel better knowing... Mike |
