While breaking down a distributor for rebuild, I noticed there was a lot of wear in the centrifugal weight slot and it's post, both sides.  Dist. is C3TF.  So I took apart another dist., found less wear, and installed the points cam with slot and centfrigal weights on the first unit.  Then almost by accident noticed one of the weight's posts that anchors the spring was almost eaten in two from wear received via spring.  Looked at the three other weights and two spring anchors were close to breaking in two.

Are new weights available for purchase?  Are they included in dist. rebuild kits?

Both distributors had one relatively thin spring on one weight and a thicker spring on the other.  Each of the thicker springs were very sloppy, applying no tension to their weight in the collapsed position.  It doesnt seem right?
