These are the 2 little springs in the distributor that are part of the
advance/retard mechanism.
These things are no longer available as straight off the shelf parts. I was
advised (thank you list) that Denis Welch has them. They sell a set of three
pairs..stronger, normal, weaker.
I spoke to them regarding which set to fit to my slightly tuned BT7 MkII.
These are my notes
QUOTE :-According to Jeremy Welch @ Denis Welch, regarding their selling
distributor "bob weight springs" in packs of 3:-
Strong pair retards more
Medium/normal pair is standard
Weak pair advances sooner.
He suggests the Medium pair for my car with its DWelch "Fast Road" cam as
the start point, otherwise trial & error on a "rolling road". Hoho!!

On reflection, that advice doesn't leave me a hell of a lot wiser! Do any of
you gurus out there have any tips or even generalities on this topic about
which I know little and seem to understand less?
Thanks,
