"rusty ol cuda" nightmare on any street wheelstander project

well she no longer has dual 750 edelbrocks, down to a torker tm5 intake and one 750 edelbrock but i see the holley gittin robbed off of the duster and i think I need to recurve the distributor, I may have to put more gear in and switch to high in the transfer case??? it's all trial and error at this point
