Worth giving it a good clean and oil.
Don't be tempted to fiddle with the springs - They are supposed to be like that!
You will achieve nothing by taking them off and adjustment will make the curve wrong. Yes one of them is supposed to be loose!
Total advance is a function of the static advance + distributor mechanical advance, so if you retard the static you won't get the 35deg if you advance it you will get more.
