"I love it when a plan comes together!" Good show! It's also possible the advance system was gummed up so badly the springs couldn't do their job.

Actually, I test, not guess (hahahahahahaha, I heard that somewhere.
), and I opened it up and it was clean in there, but the springs seemed really weak too me and they were much weaker compared to the ones in the new distributor.
Thanks Jerry. The "Test not guess" deal which you remind us about from time to time has changed my way of approaching engine problems. It is too easy to be distracted by trying to jump around looking for the "magic fix". This is especially fruitless when you have more than one problem going on at the same time.
