Too late now lol. Heads are on and torqued. I just put it on a rag and left a thin film on the walls.

Just pop off the cap and rotor, you will see the weights and springs under that. If the weights and bushings look exactly the same as the MSD units on there, you may only need the lighter springs. Remember, you can flip the center weight over to reduce the amount of mechanical advance. The only way to know which way is better is to install it and move it and see which way allows more travel. You just need to remove the springs and 2 little tiny e-clips to get the stuff off. Be sure you use the proper bushings to keep it from binding up over time.
Also, don't forget to install the vacuum advance limit plate at the correct location like I linked earlier.
You are right, I shouldn't of said the only way, but who needs one of those taking up space, you can do the same thing with a digital RPM/advance timing light and a hand operated vacuum pump. If you did it every day for a living I could understand that though. You do seem to do it more than I thought since you mention customers coming back later.
However, the next BBC I build I am probably going to convert to DIS, at that point the dizzy will only be used to drive the oil pump and send a cam signal and you can adjust the timing infinitely by pushing some buttons with no rotor phasing to worry about.

Don't forget to put a little grease under the weights and the cam so it doesn't drag.
I like to think there is a good amount of tech and stuff worth looking over here. But there is a lot of bs in between. That's why I have a link to my Silverlakeforum.com thread on the first post. Its all pics. Very little traffic on that site. http://www.silverlakeforum.com/index.php/topic,20956.0.html
This winter/spring I really feel like I got a lot of work done. Complete overhall and redesign of rear suspension, complete regear front and rear, truss, cage etc. Mostly all stuff ive never done before.
yeah, the tech level definitely took a jump up lately, I think last year was just an abnormal level of jibba jabba without anything productive to show.
now its all bidness. and bidness is goooood.
I think the time last summer during the dune party when i took off at the dunes with a bunch of rigs next to me, and then when i stopped and dave caught up to me shortly after and he said man you were going fast, and then we looked back and it was a couple min wait for the rest of the group to catch up.... That was the moment I realized I had done something right
(ps wade wasnt in that group lol)
pounded good this off-season young padiwan... rivaled the tubebed on the MPS clock.. 
need you up and running to enjoy the rest of the summer now with all the new fab goodness...

Thanks boss.
Im hoping i can hear it run saturday. And if so, im going to play sunday
I still havnt gotten to test the new rear suspension. Nitrogen bottle was almost out last i took it out, and i only got 100 psi in the shocks....

I was on my second lap.
I figured you and nate were already in.
But Wade just has a factory 350tbi....
I guess I should have saved some shock money for HP.
I did just finish a job that will put $2k cash in my pocket.

You have done a great deal Adam...I'm envious in many ways...mostly that you have the time to do it!
I remember watching you run away from me as my teeth were chipping away from the washboards and whoops trying to keep up!I think the time last summer during the dune party when i took off at the dunes with a bunch of rigs next to me, and then when i stopped and dave caught up to me shortly after and he said man you were going fast, and then we looked back and it was a couple min wait for the rest of the group to catch up....

What you have is suspension which is faster then a big engine in dunes.
