distributor springs light enough ??

Thanks 67 dart273 ...
yeah that's what I thought ...... that larger hooped spring is taking way too long to stretch out . but why would it want to go past 34* total even if the slotted plate is at 8* ? shouldn't it max out at 34* total there and not climb anymore ?
isn't the slotted degree in that plate that limits total timing? or if that looped spring is not all the way stretched out yet at 2500rpms it will take more rpms to get it there? hence why it shows timing is still climbing at 2500rpm and up.
I have the timing set at 20 intial and 34 total .
