Re: howdo i curve distributor for performance (BEZ71)
There are a couple of great articles on this in the http://www.corvettefaq.com site, including at least one by Lars. Basically you want to start with about 35 degrees of mechanical advance at 2600 rpm, then start reducing the amount of advance a couple dgrees at a time if the engine develops pre-ignition ping. The articles go into great detail, and also how to select the correct vacuum advance servo.

BEZ,
The best way is to pull the distributor and have someone with a dist. machine recurve it. The easiest way would probably be to buy the kit from C/F resident recurver Lars. ...redvetracr
