Electronic ignition upgrade.
Not going for sale. It’s going up on a stand. For possible future use. I bought this car just to replace everything in it for better performance and handling but keep the classic original look. All original clean car.

I had similar thinking at one time.
Eventually I learned the Chrysler team was a lot smarter and knowledgable than most enthusiasts, and that includes many racers. (On the other hand I noticed class racers tended to pay attention to factory info and put it to use. But I digress)
Here's my time and money saving suggestee ons to meet yer goals, or at least get a good start:
1. Using a timing light and tach, measure and document the mechanical timing.
2. Disconnect the OSAC. All that involves is connecting the distributor vacuum advance directly to the timed port on the carb. Go drive it and it ought to be a hell of a lot more responsive to throttle. Now you have a baseline, Go to the drag strip and start getting numbers.
3. See if there is a front anti-sway bar on the car. If not, put one on. That will require either changing the lower control arms or buying one of the bars that has a well thought out and tested way of attaching to non-tabbed LCAs. That will change the percieved and actual handling more than any other single change. After that make sure there is enough negative camber and positive caster for the radial tires, reset toe.
We see there's already aftermarket intake and so with whatever other changes are going on, start tuning it. This won't be a factory. This is tuning for performance.
