Hey y'all,
I've run into a problem while rebuilding the Prestolite distributor on my Chryselr 360. Yeah, I know what my first problem is... It's a Chrysler... Until it dies, I'll stick with it.
Anyway, When I removed the old advance weight springs they were two different sizes and strengths.
I wonder if anyone out there knows or has done a distributor rebuild and can tell me which springs to put in as replacements.
I've posted two photos on Brett's site showing the two original springs (The light spring was so worn and rusty that it stretched during removal, and the other was a heavy spring with an extended loop.) One new heavy spring and one new light spring shown.
The second photo of the distributor shows the installation of one of the new light springs. (Seems kinda tight..)
Ordinarily I'd put two of the same type springs in when replacing them, but I wonder if there is a need for the long heavy spring that I removed originally?
Any thanks is greatly appreciated.
Hoping to be wet for 4th of July fireworks!!! Yes you were right Seafoam, I didn't make it to the water by Memorial Day. Drinks are on me...
