The fact that this is a carbed 350 that youve given us no more information about its hard to say how to make the car go faster without changing much.

Need to know what kind of cam, heads, intake base, carb size, computer controlled or completely mechanical, etc...

For all we know youre running an 8:1 smogger truck engine, so in theory you should be happy with your times.

a basic tuneup still seems like it will go really far from you. like i said cap/rotor, plugs/wires, and as was mentioned a fuel filter. You may want to check the distributor itself for correct positioning.. the car is clearly lacking power if you cut a 2.1 60' and dont spin.
It just needs plugs....I swapped the manifold and but the distributor in 180* off. so they fuel fouled.. and today she ran out of gas so I have at leas 1 thats fouled from that. Its completely mechanical. it has a Holley 670 street avenger like I said before and the basic Holley dual plane. now the thing is the 2.73 Is KILLING the car. once I hit 2nd gear I'm haulin *** but 3rd and it bogs out. As far as my timing, I'm gonna double check that and see how aggressive I can set the timing/carb to squeeze the most power out.

so far your telling me what I stated I already know, it need plugs...good job I said that already. I want to know any little tricks to squeeze a tad bit more out of it before I buy any more parts.
