For a stock 318 ramcharger, would a 2bbl sp2p intake be worth the effort over the stock intake? I'm contemplating on buying one for my Ramcharger like this one.

I've spent many many hours with the distributor, springs, limits, vacuum cans etc... maybe, an MSD is the next step.Probably so. I think from here on out, it would be your own scientific experiment in the mileage search.
I found the MSD an advantage since it is a multiple spark at low rpm. Consider this and other timing specks from the distributor. It appears you have a few degrees more than I expected. But then again, it is what ever the engine likes.
Keep experimenting!
Thanks but let’s correct something.Hay Rumblefish I, feel sorry that you have stupid smog laws in N.Y.. My friend up in Newburg can't get a smog because of a cat that is not available but you folks can have rusted floors and rockers . Makes no sense . Can't have a gun but can get a 9 month abortion . I moved to N.H. just because of the b.s. in southern new England .
FWIW, The EGR valve closes with a lack of vacuum.I think EGR got a bad rap because people didn't understand it, all that well.
I wouldn't retrofit it to my engine unless forced to, but I have had good success tuning with/around it. It's a Part-Throttle device and when correctly working, you should never know it's there, under load or at WOT.
Anybody running a long-period cam already has some to a lotta EGR at rpms up to 2000 rpm or perhaps a lil higher. Chrysler exploited this in the early years, and so were one of the last car-companies to adopt EGR hardware.
