One of the best, and sometimes missed tuning tricks is not to just optimize your initial timing, but to bring in timing advance more quickly than the stock distributor can allow. Bringing timing more quickly than stock can provide substantial increases in both torque and horsepower depending on your combination.This is done by changing the springs under the cap. This kit includes three sets of springs which can be used in different combinations to provide full advance between 2000 to 2800 RPM (revolutions per minute). Use lighter springs to bring the advance more quickly, and heavier springs to bring it in more slowly. Brass stop bushing is designed to help limit total timing and is far more durable than original rubber bushings. Also included are two new distributor weights.
Springs are color coded as follows:
Light Springs - Black
Medium Springs - Silver
Heavy Springs - Gold
Features:
- Brings in timing more quickly than stock for more torque and horsepower
- Includes three sets of springs to allow for a wider range of custom tuning
- Brass stop bushing included to limit total timing, and more durable than stock
About Mr. Gasket
Using his own '57 Chevy as a rolling test bed, drag racer Joe Hrudka launched the most famous gasket company in the world more than half a century ago (started in 1964). Building a name for himself and his company competing at Cleveland-area tracks Norwalk and Dragway 42, Hrudka quickly established Mr. Gasket as the go-to gasket source for racers with a line of head gaskets, exhaust gaskets, oil pan gaskets, and fasteners that sealed perfectly every time and withstood the punishing temperatures and pressures of racing. Now an important part of Holley Performance, Mr. Gasket continues to expand application coverage with more and more new products for race cars and muscle cars alike. Beyond the gaskets that made the Mr. Gasket brand what it is today is an endless variety of high-performance parts, including carburetor and fuel system components, chrome-plated accessories to dress up your engine bay, fuel additives, shifter accessories, cooling-system accessories, specialty tools, and a wide array of heavy-duty suspension and driveline components.
