Re arcing distributor for modern gas?

Is this true? I have a 1970 911 and I had someone tell me that in order for it to run properly on today's gas the distributor needed to be re arced. It's for the most part completely stock.


thanks

They may be talking about having your distributor re-curved

but you should not have a problem running an early car as long as you use the highest octane gas available

Cool

Run good fresh gas in it. You will be ok.
