Morgan hit on a good point. If the flyweights in the distributor are retained by the very light springs (MSD's are the small diameter wire, silver) they will be slow (weak) in retracting the flyweights and retarding the timing at lower RPM. They will allow a faster advance rate but the flip side is the timing "Hunts" (fluctuates) and consequently the RPMS are unstable at idle.
