    Hello.
    I have a '71 200 6cyl.
    I was wondering if anyone could just answer some upgrade questions for me.
    Headers?
    Electronic Ignition?
    Open Air Cleaner?
    2 BBL Carb?
    Improved(more modern fuel pump)?
    Just a yes or no would be great and any name brands for the upgrades would be great. Not much into the technical stuff. But, the car is clean and along with paint and a little upholstery it's gonna be very nice. So, a little performance would be great.
    Thanks in advance.

    My 70 came w/200 ci. 6cyl. It was a dog even at it's Best. Swapped it out for 5.0L. Mav is so much more fun with power. I don't have to say "I could have had a V-8" any more. There are some 6 cylinder performance shops around. I think one is called Gifford or something. Go online and look around, I had the same feeling about upgrading the 6cyl. But found I could almost buy a V8 after sinking all that $ in the 6cyl. It your choice, but think it over. Good luck!
