ah, my first mod was a homebrew intake, i noticed a difference right away,
then I did the cat-back lost low end but mid -high was good, I added the jet
stage 2 and autolites, and premium gas, still no low end, but very good mid
range!

just changed plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coil didn't notice a thing!!!

swapped in a V8 TB, low end is back, but I have lost high-end (peeps say I
must adjust TV cable, which I will tomorrow)

so far I am happy see mods below, remember back pressure is needed.
