The Mopar Performance distributer already has the light spring in it. I have a very mild 440 in my 69 Road Runner and have my total set at 38º without the vacuum advance hooked up. Although I could probably stand to back it off one or two degrees.
With the vacuum advance hooked up, your total timing should increase to around 52º. Adjust that by turning the allen screw in the vacuum canister, counter clockwise to decrease.
One red car, one yellow car.

I would set initial at ~10 btdc with ported vacuum to dist & remove heavy dist spring, leave the light spring & shorten slots to end up with 36-38 total(checked with vac adv disconnected).(you have a stock dist?)
