These are the ones under the breaker plate for my 1942 216 1.5 ton dumptruck. | | |

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.

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. | | |
