What can I do that's cheap?

I just looked over a old hot rod article about this and was curious if I could use the springs out of a msd distributor to put in my mopar distributor? We have a few old msd units sitting around from my dad's mustang so that would make it very simple.

Also right now I have my initial timing set at 15 and my advanced is 34. With the lighter springs will it want more advanced timing in theory?

Doogie, this goes back to post 8,without a distributor machine,or a dial back timing light.
