Stronger springs on the weights? Might limit maximum advance. Did the factory supply different grade springs?

No. Practically certain.
Lead free doesn't allow plug reading from what I understand. I don't look at them. All my plugs are black.

I really miss the ease of reading a leaded fuel plug. Always used to love seeing that soft tan on the porcelain, nice and even on both sides - a motor jetted and running beautifully.

The springs can slow the rate of advance but the centrifuge eventually overpowers the springs Marty, so max advance will still be the same. But it's dead easy to braze up the hole that limits the travel of the pin controlling the throw of the bobweights, then file away until you achieve the desired max advance.

Points never hold their setting anyway. Put an Ignitech on it so you can program whatever advance curve you want.

Waiting Paul (Groucho) Marx to fire up.

He might fire up a little later - retarded timing, points cam wearing and gap closing

Was suggesting specifically for those wishing to retain the points.

Yes it was great to see cee jay and his girlfriend suzy. He sold the jota to his mate to raise funds for the 1940 ford ute, he has first refusal on buying it back. He still has his sfc750 replica.
