Re: Northeast distributor advance spring

Sherlock, without a Northeast parts list to check, you have to accept that the two springs may not be identical; that's often the case with centrifugal advances. Unless you can find the correct spring it really may come down to setting the distributor up in a test machine and finding an appropriate spring to give the correct advance curve by trial and error. That's a pretty unattractive prospect so in the end you may want to send the unit to one of the distributor rebuilders who specialize in Northeast units.
