Arthur,

I have the early emissions on my 71 280sl and when it does not work, the retard stays engaged through all RPM ranges. Is there a way to convert the system to eliminate retard above a certain RPM or otherwise defeat the retard with a selection of different springs in the distributor (i.e. centrifugal weights)?

Thanks,

Tom Sargeant
