SELECTING THE ADVANCE
SPRINGS
The rate, or how quick the advance comes
in is determin ed by the type of springs
which are installed on the distributor. The
MSD distributors are equipped with tw o
Heavy Silver springs installed. These
will give you the slowest adva nce curve
possible (Figure 2). The parts kit contains
two additional sets of springs which can
be used to match the advance curve to
your particular application. Refer to the
Spring Combinat ion C hart (Figure 3) for
combinations that can be achieved.
To change the springs, remove the cap and
rotor and use needlenose pliers to remove
the springs. Be sure the new springs seat
in the groove on the pin.
