two questions, one about dizzy and one about tires Options

[bd1308]

1: Is it unheard of to have a stretched-out advance spring, so when the mechanical advance is full-out, the weights contact the case? I think this is the rattle metal sound I hear.

2: I have Falken ZE-502 tires...they recommend a 44PSI pressure when cold, but the sidewall sways.....

can i run a higher pressure, and what is that recommendation?

1: OK, I've never heard of that happening (the weights are limited as to how far they'll swing), but you're starting to prove that ANYTHING'S possible. My opinion is I would search elsewhere.

2: 44 PSI?! Woah, your car must ride like crap, loosening your fillings and darting about on every seam and cockroach you run over! And you wanna go higher? Sidewalls are gonna flex some (they'd better, with your '70's suspension), unless you're going for a nostalgic Schwinn ride.

If you think it's the distributor, get a rebuilt unit. Try 26-27 PSI all around and see how it handles, unless your Dad's a dentist.
