Distributor springs

Preload can be regained by bending the spring perches out.. But we want to limit the number of times we bend them back and forth!

Yep!

I'd prefer to not be bending things to make-do...which is why an assortment of higher rated springs than the Mallory kit provides seems to be a good plan.

Thanks for the link to the weight surgery. I was contemplating drilling holes in the weights. Considering the physics of the motion and removing weight from the 'outside' of the movement had not occurred to me. That's great!!
