Bill,
Easy job to fit on the new springs. If I can do it so can you. I did not
remove the distributor, just the points. Got the old ones out and the new
ones on with a bent point jewlers needle nose pliers. Be careful to replace
the old 8 coil spring with the new 8 coil spring, same with the 9 coil
spring. Do one at a time to avoid any mistakes in this area. When you buy
the springs, count that you actually have one that is 8 coil and one that is
9 coil. Best, Bob 69 Ambo

Subject: loopframe distributor springs
| With a recent mention of distributor springs, I'm reminded that I have a set sitting on the shelf for about a year now that I've never put in.. I recently put on a new chain and tensioner (valtek). I've still got sort of 'wobble' in the timing mark when I put a light on it and throttle up.. so I was thinking I might get on with putting the springs in.. if that has anything to do with it? I assume the ones in there are pretty ancient. Long story short.. it looks like a bit of a challenge.. does one typically remove the distributor to ease getting at those things.. or do it in place.. are there any tricks.. it's a tiny spring(s) and I can see them flying already... thanks in advance...
