Anyone have an old distributor laying around ?

[pearljam724]

There are 2 springs inside an original distributor attached to the counter weights. One is larger or thicker than the other. I’m looking for that smaller spring. If anyone has an old original distributor not being used and is kind enough to help me. Please message me. Thank you

Thank you, I may resort to that. But, I don’t want to pay $40 for 1 little spring.

Yikes. He is very adamant about using manifold vacuum vs ported.

It's like they have never heard of re-jetting your carb.

I have 3 of those little buggers in my spring stash from back in the day, but couldn't begin to guess at which one you would need. Pretty sure they are all slightly different.

Beatersrus is going to send me the smaller spring from a late model small block points distributor. They should be all the same. Very thankful

All have different rates to them depending on the thickness of the wire used and length. No real guide out there on them.
