Bob, I asked Jeff of Advanced Distributors what he means by saying 'lower rpms
for any given driving speed' some time ago? He insisted on having driven
several cars where the rpms dropped for a given speed after he'd rebuilt the
distributor. Since then I've known there are magicians out there...

They make a curious claim on their "Why Recurve" page:
"Its even likely that you will be able to climb hills easier and your
engine rpms will
be lower for any given driving speed."

I always thought engine RPM and driving speed were determined by gearing
(and
vice versa). Throttle position may vary for a given speed, depending
on load, engine
state of tune, etc. Am I missing something here?
