About the only thing you can do & keep it stock looking is change rear gears to 3:55, put a shift kit in the trans, get a larger diameter exhaust put on (custom made but would still look stock), & put a petronix ignition in the dist. Any other mods would involve getting into the engine or be noticable. When my Sprint was new it had a 200 with 3sp. I put headers on it. I used to run it when it was new. With uncapped exhaust, about 18 deg of timming & no air cleaner, it would run high 14's low 15's. I still have a stack of time slips to prove it. It had almost no top end but out of the hole it was great. Would have been good in the 1/8 mile but there were no 1/8 mile tracks back then. At least I never heard of them.
