Andy,
Thanks for the input.=20
I'm gonna print this one out and staple it to my Haynes manual!
I guess the consensus is, if I'm not gonna hop up the engine internally, =
then the stock filters and exhaust are fine and going to the aftermarket =
parts won't get me any more gains than doing proper maintenance.
Duh.....
Guess I'll save my money for restoring the suspension and the like, so =
I'll have a nice, original, like the engineers designed it, perfect =
running car, rather than one that has some expensive add-ons and fancy =
Schmancy catalog stuff in lieu of regular tune-ups.=20
Is that the jist of what everyone is trying to tell me? AM I GETTING IT =
NOW??? :-)

I think the big question is what are you really trying to do and what
kind of power changes do you expect. An engine is a system. Change one
thing and it affects the rest of the system.
Instead of giving Moss all your cash for a Peco, here's a way to get
about 10% more power (and maybe even more) and a good feeling about your
car for almost no money.
