Mechanical Advance Spring Kit – Ford/Lincoln/Mercury V8 (1965–1973, Points Ignition)

A mechanical advance spring kit designed for points-style distributors used on 1965–1973 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury V8 engines. Replacing the heavy factory springs with these lighter springs allows the distributor’s mechanical advance to come in sooner, which can improve throttle response, torque, and overall horsepower depending on the engine combination. A simple but effective tuning upgrade often overlooked during ignition setup.
