OEM, is a heavy spring with a loop to allow the light spring to provide the governing spring rate up to about 14 degrees of advance before the heavy spring started applying it's force. I have found that in some cases (mostly lighter cars, that pulling the heavy loop spring and installing another light spring of similar rate provides a constant linear advance that is better for hi-po engines and is slow enough not to allow the pegs to slam off the end of the governor causing timing bounce during hard acceleration.
