Stephan,
I'm glad you weren't in a hurry to test drive when I had my jumper cables
attached! (Ouch, such a nice timing light too.)
John, I don't see how a spring could have broken, his distributor is brand
new, and he does have the 7.5 plate. But good advice to check it.

I have non-smog distributor, i'll take it apart to
make sure it's all OK. Since i put 1600 domed pistons
in my U20, does that effect how i should set timing ?
I ran over my timing light in the garage.. was in a
hurry to test drive!
