A counterpoint to Lews argument for not spending money on things like EFI or new heads is.......

It is afterall a “hobby”..... and some people just want that stuff.

I know for me, points ignition in something thats going to supposedly be used as not just a driver..... but almost a daily driver...... I’d be looking to make it as maintenance/hassle free as possible....... so, no points for me thanks.

I like the idea of some modern upgrades.

Necessary? Nope.
Just depends on what you’re looking for.

One of my friends has a 71 Charger R/T.
It was an auto car, and last year he spent a big pile of $$$ on it converting it over to a 6 speed manual.
Wasn’t at all necessary........ but that’s what he wanted.
