I've been looking at rebuilding my 73 2.0 distributor (231 174 009) because of some play in the shaft/bushing.

Opening it up I noticed that the 2 mechanical advance springs and different (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Is this normal? Can we get new springs? Is the weight and mechanism different between distributors and springs the same? ( I have a spare 1.7 distributor)

I'm not there yet, but what is the recommended way to remove the bushing and are they available or we need to machine them?

The help is greatly appreciated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
