I have no clue....couldn't even tell ya how to measure either of the items you mentioned. Not bein a smart ass but what ever the can and the weights and springs bring to the table? I just assumed from Stovebolts they'd be right. Pretty much an unknown for me/hadn't considered it.

But......Now I think on it....

I could prolly check the mechanical easily enough at 2000 or so rpm...I'll look if my dwell/tach goes to at least 2500....paint another mark on the wheel, down a bit further, yank the vacuum advance and check idle advance and again at about 2500 rpm. Sounds like a neat evening project. As for the hei limiting adjustment, don't know at this point...haven't even stuck an allen wrench in the can yet.
