rebuild the carb, if it is a Rochester 2bbl( has two idle mixture screws) then you are ahead of teh game. If it is an early Mercarb(one idle mixture screws and uses a double diaphram accelerator pump) then you need to look for a Rochester or a late model Mercarb(has a single lip accelerator pump like the Rochester) that came off of a 3.7 L or 165. Whiel you are at it, replace the points with a pertronix electronic ignition kit, its an easy swap, well worth the money
