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. |

Always so positive.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .. I actually find dizzy machines for sale locally from time to time.. Always think about buying them but just never felt it was worth it.. I think the last dizzy I had done was about $200 at burnbros.. (Aaron)) maybe when he worked for Henry but that was a long time ago.. Just surprised the job is so expensive now.

Just razzing you guys, yeh it's a tad spendy, but you have to pay the Porsche tax. That's why for my money I'd get the MSD, then I'm not stuck with someone else's idea of a good curve. |

I have enough local drag racers in the area that discard the last year's model for the newest model so used options are out there as well. |
