A MarkD chip is helpful for power.  Eliminate vac leaks, swap the diff and install a lightweight flywheel for cheap upgrades.

You can also keep a lookout for the Downing Atlanta supercharger kit. They're rare, but do come up on auction sites every now & again.

true but the car has a little rust on the trailing arm buckets and i am not happy about that. found that out 2 months after i bought it. got the car for $600 with no braking power had to replace the abs pump to get it to brake.
