Hey Rusty. I pulled the distributor and, what do you know, both springs had slots. And one of the "eyes" broke -- without barely any pressure -- as I was removing it. So I'm replacing them with two good "full circle" springs. It may not do much as far as my original post, but these springs needed to be replaced either way.
