In the process of installing weber 40IDA carbs on my 82 SC. In the past I have read that I need a 78 -79 distributor to use with carbs in place of my 82 distributor. I was able to find one - part number 237 306 001 about a year ago at the Hershey swap meet. Today I felt it was time to get it ready to be installed. I have read in the past the Gunter thread about cleaning your distributor without removing the end gear. As I disassembled the distributor I found the weights were welded to the plate with no springs and only what ever advance was built in. Was this distributor built for racing only and is now not able to be used on the street? Comments and suggestions appreciated
