Whats out there that might be worth the money? Also, will upgrading ignition components help with that acceleration smell we all know and love? Maybe burn up some of that excess fuel in the chamber?

Not worth it.... The ignition system is more than adequate. If you're getting a sulfer odor after hard pulls, you might have a bad cat or a rich mixture.

acceleration smell huh? that's a new one in my book. If you want to upgrade the ignition, I have a full blown fireball HEI distributor for you. Only $500.00. This thing will add at least 20 whp, ask anybody.

Don't forget Blue Streak points. Solid copper for good conductivity.
Always used them in my '64 Chevy Impala w/ 283CID V8.

I don't have the car anymore. Had the Powerslide tranny eerrr PowerGlide.
Still, I loved the car. I rebuilt the engine myself. .060 over pistons. Ran smooth and great. Got 21 MPG too. A kept it original. Body was in great shape (4dr Sedan) but rear axle and suspension started falling apart.
After 200k miles though, too many other parts were failing and difficult to get. I wasn't able too afford coverting the rear to a later model and I moved on to newer cars where parts were easier to find.

adjust your holley 4 bbl ....clean your maf....is it stock? if not, try a custom tuned chip. 02 sensors might need attention also. just a general all around tune up should help.
