I took my distributor apart, all looks good except for the springs/weights.
One of the springs returns to the original shape after I release it, the
other doesn't. My question is, are they the same strength? And, where can
I get them...would my local parts place have them? Thanks in advance.

They should both be equal. It should be a pretty
easy part to find.
Be sure and check for bushing wear in the shaft. I
don't rebuild distributers any more, new ones are just
too cheap.
Being equal depends on the desired timing curve... a good hi-po shop should
have a synchrograph and can tailor the distributor to a customers state of
tune/needs.

they are becoming a thing of the past
most of these foctards in this group have no idea of what it does
These folks are NOT focktards.... they are individuals whose skill sets are
based on other criteria. I applaud those that are willing to try something
new and will try to help as best I can (something the rest of us could
learn).
