Load-O-Matic springs?

[Anonymous]

Taking apart my Load-O-Matic, and not yet being able to changeover to a DurasparkII , I've noticed that the springs aren't what they used to be 42 years ago... Does anybody know where I could find replacements for these tiny little springs for my LoadO? (or even upgrade springs would be nicer!)

Thanks in Advance.

HELLO ADAM


.....ADAM THE SPRINGS ON THE LOAD -A MATIC ARE FOR RETARDING THE SPARK. UNLESS YOU SEE NO CHANGE AT ALL THEN THEY WILL WORK OKAY. THE ONLY THING IS TO TEST THEM WITH A LIGHT.

.....PUT A LIGHT ON THE CAR. WATCH AS SOME ONE GOES QUICKLY FROM 1000 RPM TO ABOUT 3000 RPM. YOU SHOULD SEE THE TIMING GO FROM ABOUT 25* DOWN TO 18-20* AND THEN QUICKLY BACK UP TO OVER 30+*. IF YOU PASS THIS TEST DON'T CHANGE A THING IN YOUR L-A-M, IT IS WORKING JUST FINE. YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A DROP OF 5-8* WHEN YOU START. DON'T TRY TO MATCH MY EXACT NUMBERS, JUST GO FOR THE DROP AND THE COME BACK. ANYTHING ELSE CALLS FOR SOME NEEDED WORK.

.....I HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU. DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING THAT IS WORKING.

LIVE IN GRACE
