[Chrysler300] 300C distributor advance spring specifications?

["Henry Schleimer" <henry.schleimer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi hemi fans

 

I am making one good hemi distributor out of two and each has different
advance springs, neither of which I trust as originals.  One has a very
light and a light spring, but has had the advance slots brazed to reduce
total timing.  I think it is also from an earlier hemi.  The other I think
is from 1957 but has two identical heavier springs.   If anyone could tell
me the right wire diameters for the standard 300C distributor or where to
get them from, it might save some trouble as I haven't yet fired up my newly
rebuilt motor to experiment with.  If there is an accepted better
modification for the timing curve, let me know.  Note that when I got it,
the motor was running a dual point Mallory which is probably a better
distributor, except it doesn't have vacuum advance.

 

Thanks
