Any tuning tips for our old engine to rev more freely?
Sure:
* Weber 32/36 carb
* 2" exhaust system
* Keep the A15 revved way up

You'll go from 0-100km/h in 16 seconds to only taking 12 seconds. Note that new minivans do it in 8 seconds.

engine oil additive


Not something I am very fond of. Rather use a good quality engine oil or full synthetic.

Any tuning tips for our old engine to rev more freely?

btw, "friction modifying additives " = engine oil additives?


thanks

if u dont want to rebuild the engine because its in good condition already, then using good friction modifying additives like slick 50 or Nulon i find always gives about 5% more power and economy, as well as smoother and cooler running. plus extending the life of the engine.

Spot on, a "HOTDOG" is just a straight through muffler that is shaped like a HOTDOG. Some people also call em resisators as well.
