The springs I was talking about are the ones on the mechanical advance on the window type distributor. On my 62 they were very loose and allowed the weights to flutter. When I was timing it you could see the timing marks move around in the light. Put new springs in and the timing marks were steady. Motor ran smoother and was happier. In the picture yours looked like they had been replaced,looked pretty shiny. You will know when you time it. Dave
