Rebuilding distributor

I think the springs are shot because it looks like a beaver chewed on them. All stretched out and they don’t do a good job of returning the weights. Someone has been in there before. It also looks like someone ground the pins on the weights to give it more advance. I’m starting to think I should just store this one and get a different one to run. I really wanted to use the stock casting though.

@yellow rose I’ve had a different experience with Pertronix. They’ve always worked well for me. Haven’t had one fail yet. That said, I’ve stayed away from the fancier products and use only the Ignitor II series.
