So I've been having what seems to be a common problem with my mechanical advance. It won't advance to where I need it to be. I tried new springs and weights, and I tried a combination of springs with no luck. I removed the weights and set my base timing at 12. I put the middle springs in and it advanced to 25 and came down to 18 at idol. It did this with the heavy springs and all combinations that I tried. Paul Carter, who has been a great help to me, is bringing over a new distributor the weekend to give that a try. The one I have is old and probably warn out. The easiest thing to do is drop a new one in and see what happens.
