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. |

I switched from CIS to Webers on my 3.0L and sent the dizzy to one of the best (Barry Hershon) to get rebuilt and recurved. Expensive but worth it and I don't have to worry about dizzy problems for a very long time. Running the 6AL and the engine has been perfect for ~2 years with no maintenance (aside from dirt getting in the Webers).
