I've searched the /6 forum and can't come up with the Mr. Gasket P/N for centrifugal advance springs. The Summit site has maybe four kits but none say Mopar. Anyone have the P/N handy?
Just a note about soft springs. If you notice your timing bouncing around at idle you may want to use one of these aftermarket springs and the smaller stock spring instead of both aftermarket springs. Sometimes the all in at 2500 on a street car can also cause pinging under part throttle acceleration.
That's mentioned in the instructions.. but good to mention, cuz who reads instructions till after, whatever, doesn't work.. lol
I have had the best luck on the street using one of the lightest springs and one of the medium springs.
Mine liked the light stock one and one of the MP light springs...
for those that have used one mr. gasket spring with a stock mopar distributor what was your curve?
I replaced the big spring with the 925B light spring and am all in at about 2,600 RPMs.
I run 12-22-52 on the timing with the vac advance.

I think I understand your numbers, just haven't seen it written that way before.
In my 360,I run 14-34-60, with a 2stage curve.These are; idle-power-and max.cruise. The knee is around 2800, and all in at about 3400. This kept my stick-car out of detonation in the 2800 to 3600 zone, running a Dcr of over 9/1,and burning 87E10(Eddies). I could have run more timing in there but I got tired of pulling the oem dizzy. Actually I got lazy.It was working soo sweet, I quit chasing perfection.
Using your language, it would be; 14-20-60.
Yeah my can is modded.Its hard to get more than 20 out of a can.
OP, this doesnt help you much, except once you get into it, you will understand the jargon. Slantys like lots of initial. 12* is a good number. And 34* power timing is also a good number. and 54*max.cruise, is almost all you can hope for. So TBs 12-22-52 (my 12-34-54),is spot on. Your task is to bring in the power timing as fast as possible without incurring detonation. My winter-beater slanty has a Scr of 9.5, and takes it plenty quick.
So good luck finding the sweetspot.
