The springs are different. One is a light gauge spring and the other is a
heavy gauge wire. While you're at it you may as well get new springs and a
vacuum advance plate also. The vacuum plates deteriorate rather quickly and
become notchy. I replace mine about every 20K miles or about once every 10
years.
