Reply to "Blue Springs, Silver Springs"

I, for one, am doubly glad.

For one, I bought a MagnaSpark II last Spring for the same reason Mitch mentioned:  There were a Plethora of different Bosch distributors offered but no one hardly ever offered the springs or weights to allow you to make their advance curves different and, even more, hardly anyone anymore really knows the difference between a 010, an 012 or my personal favorite, the venerated 050, and what springs and weights to use for each.  Pat Downs did all of that research for us and gives us not only a disti that should be in the ballpark right out of the box, but it is then easily tailorable to get us to home plate.

For twooth, I looked in mine and had forgotten that the springs were right on top of everything once you pop the cap and rotor off, unlike the Bosch unit that puts the springs under everything else and is a minor PITA to service.  The MS II springs are SUPER easy to get to and I think 8 of the ten minutes Mitch quoted was just getting the cap off and back on while holding a flashlight in my teeth in a 30º garage.

Thanks for the tip, Mitch!
