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?

I would find the guy in town that rebuilds distribeuters, waterpumps, carbs etc... call him up and see if they have one...

Or have lars send you his springs :cheers:

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.

Any shop who does Dyno Tuning will have one. We charge $140 plus parts to do them off the car.

That is more than the price of a new unit :confused: .

Gotta figure in the price of labor.

With respect, that's a lot of labour.

I had mine done locally for 50 bucks on a sun machine. It was 8 years ago though

Lars is still taking distributors? Hmm, I might need to send him mine. Any more info?

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
