1971 Scamp stock 318

The first thing to do is dual exhaust to let it breathe...

then 4 bbl intake and carb....

Replace the old timing chain with a good double roller, the stock 318 timing chain is junk...
Yep. Duals first because you will need them anyway. TTI makes hook ups to almost any manifold combination or header if you choose. 4 barrel and intake next. A stock Teen likes 500-600 cfm. Edelbrock, Holley, or even a old Thermoquad are good choices with a intake to match. Keep it simple. Electric chokes work well.
Electronic ignition is a plus. A Mopar kit or Pertronix are good choices. Don't forget to recurve the advance. @halifaxhops is a expert here and can fix you up.
