Ryan,
Its something best done with a distributor graphing machine. I have recurved
my own dissy's with varying success by changing advance weights and springs.
At least you will need a very accurate spring tension gauge and pan balance
to do the curve adjustments yourself.
You would still need to check your changes on a re graph machine so I doubt
you would save any money.
Cheers
Feral Errol

Ok I'll get some of that as well looked liked she had a fair bit but might
as well get some anyway. Also what is involved with re graphing a dizzy and
can I do it myself or does it require a dyno?
