On my race car (small block Ford) it does the same thing, very slow to return to the idle timing setting, doesn't return all the way a lot of times,I've taken my distributor apart and cleaned it and oiled/greased it numerous times, tried different springs, it seems to help some but has not cured the problem, that's why I'm going to use a Ford Duraspark distributor.......I doubt I'll ever buy another MSD distributor again.....
