On this distributor, the length of the rod is adjustable, and the
tension of the spring is adjustable. If you remove the hex nut on the
"can", there is a spring tension adjustment.
Inside the distributor, the rod is threaded, with a lock nut. Completely
adjustable. 
Although, I would not want to be adjusting one unless I had a
distributor machine.
HMMM, which reminds me. Last week I saw SUN dist. machine sitting in a
corner collecting dust. Wonder if the guy needs someplace to store
it????? ;=}
I will have to check.
