That's basically right, except that the second spring is installed loose so it does not come into play at first. BTW, I hope everyone understands that bending the mounting tabs for these springs changes the calibration of their advance curves and that the only way to get it back is to pay money to someone with a distributor machine. It's kind of like tinkering with the FI pressure sensor, except you have even less chance of ever getting it right again. > Someplace, on the web, I saw pictures of the advance curves for > the different Bosch distributors.
