Took dist to be recurved and when I got it back the tag said 24 deg @ 3800. I told the guy I wanted 30 total at 3000 but didn''t notice till too late. I had motor dyno''d and they put 14 in at crank. What problems if any am I going to have and can I change springs and/or weights w/o removing dist? What would be a good starting point? This is 327/350 11-1 w/Lunati 60102 cam, Edelbrock intake and carb and usual upgrades. Thanks and appreciate the help.

Hi Ttoptom, you won''t have any problems, you just won''t get all the HP your motor has. Yes! You can change the springs and/ or weights without removing the distributor. PG.
