HEI Distributor Recurve
Hi everyone, I know this has been beat to death here but has anyone figured where to get a HEI distributor recurved? I know it's hard finding someone these days. I'm not really wanting to try it myself but it may come to that. I have a Mallory distributor that I want to put in my Z28. The part # is 85248201C. I am wanting to just recurve it instead of purchasing a new performance one since mine has practically has 0 street miles on it. I purchased it in 2009 back when Mallory was making them in the U. S.. Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Read post 3 in this link. Sounds like 2 springs and set initial to 12.

I have the box but no instructions. There was no spring kit inside the box when I bought it back in 09 that I recall. It was all preassembled, as is.

It will certainly be cheaper to buy a dialback timing light than to hire someone to do it even once. You'll still need to time the car correctly, and you'll need a dialback timing light, or timing tape, for that, if you follow the @lars method for optimal timing.
Many of use use the Innova 5568 timing light. Pick up some MSD Timing Tape, too.
