Thanks for the info. Great to get feedback from someone who spent a lot of time with these distributors. I'll check out Accel. If they have set similar to the MSD, I may get those too and play with them. What I found interesting was how much stiffer the OEM springs were than the light replacements.

Any idea why the advance wouldn't have returned to just the base timing even after I shut it off? I still don't get why it wouldn't. The mechanism is very clean, lubed, etc. It all moves very easily.

Thoughts?
