I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Recurving the distributor means that they/you adjust the amount of travel that the advance will move. The stock distributor will move about 14degrees. So if you start at 12degrees then full advanced will be about 26degrees. Allowing it to travel another 8-10degrees will let it advance to about 34-36degrees. That is where the performance folks say is best for power. The other thing that is done is changing the springs and weights in the distributor which controls the curve/timing of when all this happens. This process is best done on a distributer machine but can be done without that but takes more time.
