thanks, maybe I just have too high of expectations for the old beast. I do plan to get bigger tires for the back, but the ones on there are nearly new, so I am holding out until they get at least partly worn out.

I may have to look in to new gears for the rear also. I don't know what they are, but they seem to be extremly (numerically) high, as I literally can't go over 60 mph. fortunately, I drive country roads mostly, so 40-45 works fine.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I am going to start looking for an HEI distributor and a non-stock air cleaner. That tiny snorkel can't be helping much.
