Selected User Reviews For Mr. Gasket 925B Advance Curve Kit
On an electronic distributor on a slant six engine, I installed one of these (as per the included instructions and internet forum wisdom). They definitely did what they were supposed to do, which is bring the mechanical advance in at an rpm range you'd likely Usually you'd want to upshift your stock 1brl carb'd slant six at 4000 rpm, and with my stock springs, I didn't see any mechanical advance on the timing light until I got to As far as I am concerned, it is best not to have it. From now on, it comes in reasonably close to idle and has everything set up by A set of two springs comes with this set and I still have one to install in my 1980 T&T A wooden wagon with a C on it. This is a slightly more difficult level of difficulty than pulling the trigger wheel and sensor base out of the distributor to get to the mechanical advance stuff in the bottom, because this is somewhat fiddly and you could surely destroy your distributor if you aren't careful. Yes, get this if you are an enthusiast who is cautious and mechanically inclined, and you have no fear of distributors. Nevertheless, it does list the price per ounce of product. In light of the absurd amount of 100-200-300-piece assortments of bits I buy on Amazon all the time for about $10, it does seem odd to pay this much for two tiny pieces, but they still don't cost much unless you are paying someone else to install them. If I were to put these in for someone else, I would charge almost $200!.
It is true that these advance springs help bring in your timing curve sooner, but you do not need both at the same time. With this kit, you can swap out the stock heavy spring for one in this kit and you will get a full mechanical advance In other words, if you use both springs from this kit instead of the factory springs, you will have full mechanical advance as soon as you tap the throttle, or around 1200 RPM. The only spring that you will need is one of these, so feel free to make a second one as a spare or sell it to a friend who needs to bend his distributor at the same time.
Here is the rest of the sentence Once you assemble the distributor, you're ready to go. You have all your mechanical timing set to 2400 rpm. If you have an older car from the 1960's or 1970's, those upgrades are truly stunning. . I have a '69 Chrysler 440 that has behaved very well and smoothly when I am just driving around in the city. However, if I put my foot down, the turns into a vicious beast! Using this product you can transform your car. It is excellent and simple. I have found that to be the case.
They are masochists. I think that's the best way to describe whoever came up with the packing design for this product. As some of the other reviews noted, the plastic shrink wrap has become an integral part of Not so good for automobile parts, but good for achieving Nirvana. Despite all the uncertainty, there is still hope. If you are patient enough to remove the springs from the packaging, then you will be able to install the springs in your distributor with ease.
Despite the springs' light weight, they are very durable. For street applications the smaller stock one should remain in place, and this one should be added. We encountered a lot of problems with the packaging. A cardboard backing was included with the shrink-wrapped items. I wrapped the springs in plastic shrink wrap and inserted it through and around the springs. The most difficult part was getting the plastic off, so the springs could be separated without the springs getting damaged.
It is perfect, but sealing the package with a vacuum seal is not necessary.
