Do I need to have my distributor recurved? I am using a stock 2.7 distributor on my carburetor 2.7 L engine I understand that to have a optimal performance a recurve is needed however is it really worth $500? My car is not set up for racing?
In other words will icy $500 worth of improvement from the modification ? My distributor is otherwise in excellent condition. |

It will run for now but, if you have cams/performance work it will not be optimum.
The other option, if you want to keep the dizzy, is to lock out the advance mechanism and buy a MSD AL6-2 Programmable. Then you can hook up a laptop and change the curve any way you like. Still almost 400 bones, but at least you know exactly what the curve is and if you don't like it, or in the future you change something like your cams you can re-curve it. https://www.msdperformance.com/products/ign...trip/parts/6530 |
