Thanks guys.

a couple comedians here I see haha.

Charlie this car has been in Ohio it’s whole life. Bought at Bill Weakleys Chrysler.

Great call on changing gears. Honestly did not think of that.

That’s just the thing.. the car is so clean and so low miles I don’t want to f with it tooooo much. Manifold, electronic ignition, gears, and exhaust might be all she gets.

so is a super 6 the best “all around” intake? Looks like there are quite a few options out there... are the supers hard to find?

thanks again!

For your purpose, a super six is probably the best, but people now think they are made of gold. If you do find one for a reasonable price make sure you get everything, mainly the trans kickdown linkage. You could probably get a Offie manifold and a small 4 bbl (or 2bbl adapter) carb for the same or less money.
Stock exhaust manifold, but a 2 or 2 1/4 pipe, and free flowing muffler would not hurt. But before doing anything, I would check the basics. Adjust valves, then compression check, Maybe electronic ign, and adjust timing, maybe a little more advance. Of course check/change plugs, cap, rotor, wires, PCV (make sure the passage in the carb is clean), air filter. Drive it to see how it acts, stock, before doing mods.
PS: A friend here in Florida had one similar, and his estate was selling it.
