I know this has been touched on before. What is involved in recurving a Mopar Performance stock electronic distributor with a chrome box? Is there a kit? Is it just replacing the spring in the distributor? Is it worth it? Who sells the kit if there is one? I know the sell the springs. What else? Thanks Rob

Thanks fellas. I guess you can use this kit all types of distributors as long as you know what you have. It not application specific like it states in description.

It's not that difficult to do yourself. I do all of my own. It is a bit of trial and error without a distributor machine but that's OK. Check out this article by Steve Dulcich. Very good article. Recurving Distributor Stan

I opted to go with the 4 seconds flat/FBO set up. After talking with Don, I am now thoroughly convinced that his set up is the only way to go....
it's great to know that you can curve it with a kit, BUT you still need to know what you are curving it to. Don is quite knowledgable in this area, as are others

I'm sure Don does wonderful work. For an all out race car i would consider sending my dizzy out. For a street car its not rocket sicience. Find what car wants for initial. Total no more then 38. No big deal. 30 bucks for a kit and a little elbow grease. Don ain't recurving them for 30 bucks.
OK I'll give you that. But I would rather have it done right the first time and not have to re-do it because I was not as thorough as Don is. At this point in my life it is far easier to spend the $$$s. Besides his expertise is unsurpassed...

It's not hard to do at all. I did mine in the garage,,,took about 1/2 hour,,,, Just need to figure out what your initial and total timing is going to be. Weld or file the slots in the plate,,,,, Trial and error on the springs,,,etc,,,, cost = about nothing,,,perhaps some springs,,,plus i learned ALOT about my car,,,how to tear into the distributor and repair it,,, Don does great work,,,but for $149 to "curve" it,,,i would try it on your own first,,,,

X2. Especially once you figure out how to get the clip out easily. Just do em in order: initial/total/springs/vac adv
