Maybe my advance springs are wrong rate, where can I find the correct ones?
These are the ones under the breaker plate for my 1942 216 1.5 ton dumptruck.

I think Mr. Gasget has them. go to any speed shop or auto parts store. Get the Chevy v8 springs there will be 4-5 different sets all different colors in the package. Put in the stiff (heavest ones). Then put the balance in your tool box one day you will need. The dist does not have to come out to do this job. Reset points to .019.

Well that is what I did, and tried to match up what was left of the old one, so i guess that eliminates that smile

No, I meant the springs I used are not the problem then.
I used Mr. gasket springs just to get it running, and it ran so good I left them and never thought they may be wrong.
