Small update, bought TrailBeast's HEI conversion and distributor and put it in last weekend, YEEZUS, now that good **** made a difference! Didn't realize how worn out the old ignition system was. Idles damn smooth and the drivabilty of the car is immensely better. That on top of his re-curved distributor, the car is a treat to drive now. Super simple install, seriously, just 2 wires, and much cleaner looking too. Also got around to lowering the front end a bit. Here's a few pictures of the install and a quick vid.
