Not to hijack, but do you know what RPM the points springs come in at?
Hijack away it's all for the greater good. Actually it's not dependant on if it's a point or electronic dist. A single OE light spring (out of any dist) will come in at ~850 & 2 OE light springs ~900 & /6's used a SLIGHTLY lighter spring than V8's did which'll lower the tip in RPM slightly. Always (in most cases) want to use at least (1) OE light spring plus one of the aftermarket springs & never use the OE heavy spring with the elongated loop on one end. EDIT that's why you cant go anywhere with the dist till you set your initial and your idle speed as you want it to start advancing several hundred RPM above your in gear idle speed that you'll see at the stoplight (or neutral if a non 904 guy). #1 #1 Get the weights tight with some heavy springs & set the initial timing with the VG method & even if you get one of the new MP dists you still can set your desired initial timing/idle RPM right now with the current dist
