Not a racer, that's why I'm keeping it stock. It's an HO and I'm putting the factory grind cam back in. Same thing for the carb. Got one for an auto and mine is manual but shouldn't make that much difference. I don't think they had much "lope" at an idle from the factory. So if I just stay with OEM, I'm thinking I should be fine. Hell, I'm even staying with points. Used them for years and is you know what your doing and how they work, no big deal. You do you and I'll do me. Thanks a bunch for the discussion. Gives me a lot to think about and more info and input is always a good thing. I'll keep you all informed and let you know how it turns out. At the very least, I kept a "69" convertible Firebird on the road for a while longer.
