Understanding the "load-a'matic" distributor

Bubba, I have a '55 Tbird with the load a magic with the tach drive. Can you convert it to centrifugal and retain the tach drive? Thanks. Rod

Lets try this one :

Note the progression of advance with rpm change at the end of the video. Every time i increased the rpm the advance curve moved a few degrees.
A good example of a good advance curve with mechanical weights and springs.


Would you (or anyone here) have the advance curve specification for the original '49-'53 flathead V8 load-a-matic vacuum-only design, please?

Although this is from Mercury manual it should be the same.
