Hi folks

I'm looking for some information about how to get rid  of the pre ignition
on my 1963 TR4.     I  have bought  the 5 new distibutor weight springs
from MOSS's   but they didn't give me any instructions on getting the best
set up.   Has anyone any experience of  solving this problem ?       I know
that pre-ignition can sometimes be due to an overdue de coke to the
cylinder head,   but this has been done.      I  hope that the solution
lies in the use of two of the 5 springs that I have been sent, but how to
get the best set up - I don't know !

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
