As far as the carb goes. I would go to a Quadrajet from a 68 or 69 Olds...I think the carb on yours is of the older style that uses the dampening piston for the secondary air valve instead of the far superior tension spring that you will find on the later model carbs. Then a good re-build with throttle shaft bushing and some attn. to calibration and your Q-jet will give you econ. and performance.
