This point was very evident when I replaced the 009 dizzy on my 914 with a Mallory Unilite. The difference was dramatic, well... as much as it can be with a 914. With a change in camshafts and, as I read, 30 years of fuel "refinement", It's a smart thing to do.
Since I'm a card-carrying member of the Beaver State, I'll give that gentleman a call and see what his recommendations are. Thanks for the input.

Hi Nate:
A hearty thanks to "He who must not be named" for the accurate information posted above.
I am a "pull on the stick until the rivets pop and the WSO pukes, kind of person", but your caution about the suitability of today's gas and the advance curves are well placed. Your stock advance curve is well suited for our 92 octane fuels and and any CIS-compatible camshaft profile.
In short, you don't need any re-curving for your new configuration. My only suggestion would be to eliminate the points with a Pertronix for a more accurate timing signal and better idle.
Hope this helps,
