looking for intake carb / manifold recommendations for 318 1973 La block

I'm finally getting closer to the completion of my almost stock 68 Dart convertible, I've been out of the street rod mechanical side for a few years.

I'm looking for recommendations for a street cruiser set up, the original 318 block had been replaced with a 73 LA 318 it has a mild cam in it the rest all factory 73.
I have installed 340 exhaust manifolds and I'm looking to upgrade to improve starting and overall reliability is very important along with a little more punch is always nice!

It has a 3sp 904 and dreaming of an overdrive set up one day

1-I'm leaning towards the AVS2 for the carb... thoughts?

2- any thoughts on an intake manifold and what if any modifications will be required ?

3- it has a mechanical points possible conversion to electronic ignition but prefer to keep it close to stock appearance if possible.

Your expertise is appreciated tks
