Springs or weights needed to lower mechanical advance
#22
Not looking to jack the thread but have the exact same year and motor. Am going tomorrow to buy the recurve weights and other tune up parts. I see they come with several sets of springs, which ones do I use? If I do not move the distributor, and I know timing is right now, do I need to check timing? Dont have a light but checked at my buddies last week and he said dead on.
Thanks

Has this been a issue since you've had the car? If not its probably just that the original springs are becoming fatigued and stretch way to easy. you can buy a moroso or mr. gasket advance kit, 20 minutes to install. if it's done this all along, retard the timing by to degrees at a time untill it doesn't ping.
