·Can someone tell me about the
Can someone tell me about the springs and weights in my 308 distributor. I stripped it to lubricate everything (it's all in good shape as far as condition is concerned) but the springs / pins look unusual and I want to check that they're right before proceeding. There are 4 springs in total these seem to be part nos. 0120F although no internal parts seem to be listed on the ferrari UK site.......... There are 2 short springs (in the short bores) which only come into play at higher rpm....... and 2 longer springs in the deeper bores. Should these 2 springs be the same or different and what spec should they be?
In the photos you can see the distributor internals. It's a 1978 Euro model with Marelli 200 series exectronic ignition. Note the difference between the 2 longer springs and see the difference this makes on each side of the advance mechanism........ of the 2 longer springs, the shorter one with the larger wire diameter seems to do very little - it only comes into play well after the 2 short springs and effective seems to act as a stop for maximum advance - is this really how it is supposed to be - it does very little else. I have arrowed the longer springs installed in the distributor at rest (no advance) see how there is a gap between the pin and the housing on one side - this doesn't look right. Can anyone help with the spring specs? Should the springs on each side be the same and who can supply them? I'll rig up something to set up the advance curve but I want to check what springs should be present first. Thanks for any advice and specs.
