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 will start out by saying please flame me. this question is some what stupid. recurve the distributor. sure heavier springs, lighter springs, heavier weights, lighter weights, all affect the rate of advance. whatevr the set up, timing is done at fully advanced. that can be 27 degrees or 34 degrees. achieved by rpms, weight of advance cams and springs. the dist. will only advance to the point it is set at max. idle is set at no advance. recurving is not really an option on a mechanical advance. only a rate of advance from idle to fully advanced. so, unless you are going to a distributorless ignition, your "curve" options are limited to spring rates and weights on the advance unit in the dist. i hope this answers your question.
