@GREEN GHOST you're going in 15 different directions. Sit down, clear your head, come up with a plan and focus on one thing. And that one thing should be making what you have work properly. That engine in that car should meet (or exceed) your goals as it sits. Forget about a cam change, an intake change, and efi for now. Bolting on parts doesn’t fix problems.
Yeah, I realized that earlier today. I have to divide and conquer. . Just seems like everything is intertwined & I don't want to spend money twice . . I'm going to tackle the valve seal, then new plugs / wires, then look into carb & timing
