Dizzy Differences

I'm wondering about the distributors on the early cars. I've got a 2.4 1973.5 911 with Webers. Everything about the engine is stock except for the Webers.

Is there anything to be gained by swapping to a 911S distributor?

Is there anything to gained by have my current distributor recurved?

I believe that there is now difference between the advance curve of the 3 engines for the 2.4s. Don't know about the CIS cars (yours) but I'd bet it's the same.

If your engine still has the CIS cams and heads then I don't think you can get more out of a recurved dizzy.

Advance curves change based on compression ratio.
The lower the compression the more the advance.
