I should have done this from the start. checked the Bentley manual. Lists=
my distributor and the advance specs. Shows centrifugal advance at idle o=
f 0-2 degrees on the crank. So my stiffer springs are advancing too much i=
nitially, which will reduce the amount of extra advance I get at speed.. W=
ill change back.

I'm not saying all advance is used at idle, but what I'm saying is that whe=
n all the mechanical advance is used, you're at a different advance setting=
than before (you had to change the timing after changing the springs, so w=
hen you do that the full advance amount changes correspondingly). I'm uncl=
ear which direction it changed. Your "at 3200 RPM" observation would almos=
t always be at full advance regardless of which springs you're using.
Stiffer springs should equate to less advance at idle than before I'd think=
.

I'm a little unclear on how much you changed the timing, it sounds like
you had to retard the timing after the spring replacement - this would
also retard the "all in" timing, which would be what you're running at
3200 RPM.? It's possible it's worse at 3200 now than it was before
because the full advance timing is now less.<<
