Timing Optimization
Compression (pistons)
Cam
Headers & Dual Exhaust
You won't get anything out of ignition changes for a stock-ish motor, unless you need a tune-up anyway.

The '71 was set unusually retarded for emissions reasons.
Once you have the rest of your setup the way you want it (or before, if you want to do it twice), you need to use a timing kit (Crane's is good) to modify the advance springs and advance canister to get the timing where it works the best, and determine the best vacuum advance source, manifold or ported.
