I am thinking of buying a 74 1.8 for 3500 with 39k miles, a mechanic I know got in a trade for some work and I have wanted one for about 10 years . also how much more HP will I get if I put dual webbers on it ( are 44 better than 40s ) and are there higher ratio rocker arms to increase lift to allow for the added fuel , eletronic ignition hotter coil , what other semi simple HP increasing things can I do . BTW I love this website
