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. |

Don't see you would want more advance,34-35 degrees is plenty,surely it's more about how it comes in during the rev range.
The carbs will wake up the 2.7 as the CIS is a fairy tame system power wise,maybe it won't matter... 500 notes to recurve ?,seems expensive changing the auction of the advance weights and a few tests on a distributor tester ??. |

I would agree.. I can't believe its $500 Shoot I sell my tanks for $600 and they atke about 6-7 hours to complete start to finish So.... do you have a distributor tester you can lend me? And then can you come over and show my how to adjust my weights, because you know that's all there is to it...and give me all your knowledge on what makes the best /6 advance curve...and maybe throw in new bushings while your at it..... I'll buy you a beer... And VW guys wonder why I don't work on their engines much anymore .... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) . |
