Anybody have any tips on recurving a mopar dist?
I got a low compression 400 I rebuilt with a voodoo 262 cam and I figure the stock curve will leave some on the table power wise. I don't actually have the motor running and in a car yet but I figure I'll want about 15 degrees initial timing and about 32 total.

I know about welding up the slots to limit the advance but is it basically trial and error? In a Mopar Muscle article they welded up the slots in a SB dist from .480" down to .370" to get 32-34 total with 15 initial, will this be about the same on a BB?

Also is there a trick to the advance springs? I heard losing the bigger spring for a lighter one is beneficial too, can I just use another light spring in place of the stiffer one?
