So my next 2 upgrades is the distributor recurve and HEI. I have everything for the HEI and just wanted the engine to be right first. As for the recurve I know there is someone on here who sells the springs but my question is in regards to how. Is it just a single set of springs or different "weight" springs? If it is different "weight" how do I know which ones to use? I am using a rebuilt distributor but it is fresh.

It is bigslant6fan who has the kits. Read the spring information on the 4 page pdf, doc posted in the "Timing and Recurve section "http://www.dutra.org/doug/draft-webpages/distributor/distributor.htm" under Engine FAQ. It is the first link with 4 .pdf's That is the best set of instructions I have seen. It is from the old Crane upgrade kit.

Distributor Advance Curve Adjusting Instructions

Page 1 - Page 2 - Page 3 - Page 4
The spring kit has light, medium and heavy springs. Plot your curve that your distributor has now and then plot the changes as you go. This will give you a good base line to start from and a good reference. Many of us have done recurves with excellent results!
