What kind of part's? Check with the sponsor's of this site, there is quite an assortment of part's available there.

Why you want to advance the timing? Trying to get a little more pep out of it? Has the timing chain and gear's been replaced?

Looking for headers, intake, ignition coil. the motor was just rebuilt, the stock heads have a 3-angle valve job and have been poted and polished.

thanks!

What kind of performance do you want? Do you plan to use it to tow or haul heavy loads? Your cam selection depends on how you want the power used.
You have a good start with the heads, now how about the pistons. What compression ratio will you have?

Hedman and Hooker both make headers for your application. Edlebrock and Weiand make 4V aluminum intakes. Ignition--Crane, MSD, Holley--pick your favorite flavor but the factory Duraspark is still a tried & true piece that works well.
