403 Distributor parts question

[6cuda61]

Anyone know what springs were used in the stock 403 distributor? When i removed the dist cap the weights and springs were rusty.....i managed to free
things up but i'm sure it could use some new springs and even maybe a weight/plate freshening.

Everybody here will probably give you the same answer....

Call Dick Paterson at Springfield Ignition.

That is what he does......

Already sent him an inquiry....i guess i thought he was out of the distributor business but i found out wrong according to his reply email. Now to see
what his wisdom says.

Very true, that would be a nice 5 hr drive each way and i'll do it if need be.
As it stands parts will be procured from Mr Paterson to clean up the top end of the my distributor

Or just have him build you one with the correct vac advance and correct springs and weights as measured by his distributor machine. He will set it up
and mail it to you. Just return your core to him by return mail.
