Distributor Recurving Machines. Where?
I live in a city of about one million people. I want a 1979 L-82 distributor recurved. And Lars is not an option; shipping is too expensive. Do you think I could find a shop with a recurving unit? No.....but there might be one about 50 miles away :rolleyes: . Where did these machines disappear to?

The guys who bebuild are gone. The guys who replace are here. I have a Moroso spring and weight set. As well as the GM originals. I just need the proper combination of weight and spring for a 1979 L-82. Perhaps Lars has the magic combination that is better than Moroso; I do not know.

You don't need no steenking recurve machine!
Do you have an advance timing light and a copy of Lars timing paper? That'll get you started, and probably make you happy. Beyond that, just dig up one of Lars recruve kits -- that'll make you happier.

Paul look in your local phone directory or online for a sun dealer . They sell and service the equip . I'm pretty sure you could locate a shop with a machine through them . Good luck
