i'm a bit of a newbie to the cruizer crowd, and i'm looking for some advice about performance with the 2F. mind you, i've got little $ and would like to keep the 2F. i've got a 78fj40, stock motor, carb, cam etc. The things i've been thinking about are:
1. ignition--whats the best and cheapest option for this? aftermarket dist (ie non-usa, mallory, etc) that is a bolt in for the 2F. MAF wants around $300 for the mallory. what about coils? are those $40 "super coils " any good? jacobs is sweet, but again is it worth it ?(another $300)
2. carb--the stock carb i got has been rebuilt, and seems to run ok, mileage around 12mpg on the road. I've got a weber 32/36 from my mini truck, so all i need is adapters etc., but i'm not sure of the benefits--everyone runs the 38. what about manual vs. electric choke?
3. head--might have to pull the head-think i've got a valve seal that's bad. could get the head milled.
any advice would be appreciated
