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, [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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? Brian Smith 1972 Spitfire IV Bogalusa, LA Your messages not reaching the list?
