I was suspicious my distributor was not doing its job correctly so I started dissecting it yesterday. It was dirty, not problem. Got down to the springs and found one that looks correct, very small and delicate. But the other one was very stiff and obviously totally ridiculous for such an application. Further, I haven't been inside this thing for at least 10 years!! It hasn't been working right all this time. No wonder its tough to tune. Arrgg

Where can I find advance springs? It's a Bosch.
Better yet are any of you in the Portland/Vancouver area and have an old Distributor I could buy the springs out of? I would love to get it running for work tomorrow.

Thanks,
Wayne
