Manual abstract: user guide MSD IGNITION PN 440MSD PRO-BILLET READY-TO-RUN CHRYSLER V8 DISTRIBUTOR
Detailed instructions for use are in the User's Guide.
[. . . ] The amount and rate of advance that your distributor is capable of is determined by the centrifugal timing. If you ever wish to lock out the centrifugal advance, refer to the centrifugal advance section. Total Timing: This is the total of the initial timing plus the centrifugal advance added together. Example: 10° Initial + 25° centrifugal = 35° Total Timing. [. . . ] · The starting point of the centrifugal advance curve is controlled by the installed length and tension of the spring. · How quickly the centrifugal advance (slope) comes in is controlled by the spring stiffness. The bigger the bushing, the smaller the amount of advance.

CENTRIFUGAL ADVANCE CURVE
SELECTING THE ADVANCE SPRINGS
The rate, or how quick the advance comes in is determined by the type of springs which are installed on the distributor. The MSD distributors are equipped with two Heavy Silver springs installed. The parts kit contains two additional sets of springs which can be used to match the advance curve to your particular application. Refer to the Spring Combination Chart (Figure 3) for combinations that can be achieved. To change the springs, remove the cap and rotor and use needlenose pliers to remove the springs. Be sure the new springs seat in the groove on the pin.
