Hello. Have a Mallory distributor, model K type 13. It is a dual point, mechanical advance, 4 cylinder model. There is a spring loaded, adjustable piston with a felt end(oiled), that rubs on the edge of the spinning lower plate that holds the two centrifugal weights. Does anyone know what this is for? Does it provide some "drag" on the plate, or what??? Thanks
