Brian,
I know a number of people who have sent their distributors off to Jeff
Schlemmer, Advanced Distributors, MN, 612-804-5543,
www.advanceddistributors.com, jschlemmer1@mn.rr.com and have been very
happy with the service. I sent mine to another fella in OH, who did a good
job but I would not recommend using.
In terms of timing at high rpms with a standard timing gun, I read
somewhere that suggested setting the crank pulley timing mark to 20 deg
BTDC and then put a mark on the pulley where the pointer says TDC. Start
the car and rev it up to 2500 rpm, or whatever the book says and now line
your second mark on the pulley with the pointer's 12 deg BTDC to give you
32 deg BTDC. (I think I have that right).

Listers,
I checked the timing on my spit this weekend with my new Inductive Timing
Light (anniversary present, got a good one.) and discovered that my
centrifugal advance is advancing WAY to much (Max at 5800 is suppose to be
about 27 degrees. My timing mark disappeared!). So, where can I get some
new advance springs and is this something that is easy to change?
