In the process of doing some routine maintenance on my 1997 Volvo
5.7GS engine I found the two springs that hold the advance counter
weights in my distributor were broken.I've tried to order a new spring
set (Volvo 385385-3) from two different dealers and they both tell me
that that part # is no longer available. I even went to a local Delco
auto parts store and gave them the Prestolite distributor # IDU
7801J-3 but no luck there either. I can't believe I need to purchase a
whole new distributor just for a lousy couple of springs.
Does anyone have any ideas on a source for these springs or an
equivalent set that I can use?
