timing the same for headers set up? lack power?

The 1bbl will work fine if properly jetted. You will want to redo the head(bigger valves and some port work Shave it)next. THEN move on to a 2 bbl or small 4 bbl.

Frank not sure what your experience is,but wih my 67, stock 225 with a clifford full length header and a 1 bbl it didnt work no matter what jet I used.Even a 61 jet in the 1920 did not work.Idle was great,stinky but ran smooth,as soon as I would breathe on the throttle it would go lean and surge.I would recommend some kind of tune able 2 bbl or 4 bbl.Just a jet change wont cut it.
