<Subject: Mechanical advance springs, distributor
<
<
<I have just finished cleaning up my distributor because the mechanical advance
<wasn't working. I found two problems. First: the connection between the shaft
<and the cam was so corroded that movement was not possible. Second: this may
<have been exacerbated (my $10.00 word for the day) by the previous owner. It
<seems as though I have two different mechanical advance springs in my
<distributor. One looks like a coil spring off the front suspension of a
Chevy,
<the other looks like a spring from a watch. This can't be right can it? My
<guess is the mechanical advance never worked and froze on the shaft.
<
<Well now everything is cleaned up and moves freely, but I don't know where to
<get replacement springs, any suggestions?

I don't know about the B but my TD has two different size springs in the
distributor.
