Hey guys,
I have a 55 fairlane, 272 auto, with the 58 and newer distributor. I just replaced the centrifugal advance springs on it with the Mr. Gasket 925d springs, as I read that these springs were best for these distributors. After putting them on, they seem very stretched out, and it's is pretty hard to move the advance with my hands all the way to full advance. After reassembling the distributor and starting the car, I drove it and it seems like the car has no guts. It just doesn't have the power it used to have. Are these the wrong springs? Or should I try messing with a timing light and see if the advance is off? Should I just buy a reman distributor? Thanks!
