Although this may not be the case for all DeLorean turbo kits,
my experience with the Island Twin Turbo kit is that the recurve
of the distributer is included with the kit (when new), however
you did need to remove your ditributer and send it in to be done.

For those of you acquiring used kits or attempting to assemble
kits similar to the Island TT kit using partial Island TT kits
(such as from a damaged DeLorean), there are some news parts
still available. I'm also sure they can still properly recurve
your distributor if you need to replace a damaged or missing one
although there will be shipping and labor charges involved.

Later,
Rich W.
