it's a stock motor with D-jet, if i remember from your previous post.


okay:

-rip off the smog equipment. that's the air pump, egr valve, and misc equipment. plug ALL resulting holes in heads, muffler, air box, etc.

-retain the FI, make sure it works perfectly. insure your MPS is well-calibrated

-keep it ALWAYS in perfect tune

-replace points with pertonix or crane unit

-buy a header for the exhaust ($550 or so), or at least use the 73-74 2.0 HE's. don't use the 75-76 HE's.

-if you're REALLY looking for that last 1-2 hp, fab a cold air intake with a K+N cone filter, a rubber coupling, and some ABS pipe. make sure you replicate the fittings for the FI and crankcase ventilation hoses.

-prepared to be passed by minivans anyway. that's okay -- you'll catch 'em in the curves.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) have fun
