Distributor recurve for tradesman van

So my buddy’s got a tradesman van wanted to recurve his distributor, because it’s a heavy shortie van, would I just use two heavy springs to bring in the timing a lot later? That way he can get more initial with out ping, it’s a 76 360 thanks

It will be a bigger pooch than it is already if you do that. I would take out the heavy spring and replace it with another light spring or contact @halifaxhops for the springs he put up for sale a few days back.Then try it and make sure it doesn't ping.
