I'm not saying all advance is used at idle, but what I'm saying is that 
when all the mechanical advance is used, you're at a different advance 
setting than before (you had to change the timing after changing the 
springs, so when you do that the full advance amount changes 
correspondingly).  I'm unclear which direction it changed.  Your "at 
3200 RPM" observation would almost always be at full advance regardless 
of which springs you're using.

Stiffer springs should equate to less advance at idle than before I'd think.

      <div>Tony, if I follow you correctly, you are saying that by
        changing the springs I may have made it so that all the
        mechanical advance is used up at idle and I may have no more at
        speed.  Where with the older springs I would get mechanical
        advance later in the rpms and so have more advance at speed.</div>
      <div>Would the marking on the weight of 13 degrees indicate its
        maxium advance?  If so, I suspect I may in fact be using all the
        mechanical at idle since my idle timing jumped past the pully
        markings and I can only estimate a 10-15 degree jump. Maybe I
        should go back to the old springs.</div>
