One way to check to see if it's advancing when it shouldn't is to check the timing with a timing light by cranking the engine *only*. Set the timing to TDC while cranking (disconnect fuel pump or CD box, etc). Then start the engine up and check the timing at idle. If it's the same, then you're distributor is not advancing prematurely. If it reads advanced, then you need new springs.
How can you get a read on your timing light if the CD box is disconnected when cranking? I can understand to disconnect the fuel pump (Relay) but the CD box? Help!
