Once matts cars done ben we doing mine, yours can sit at the back of the queue.

 

For ignition I would just run an electronic setup to remove the points, extractors you could prob by off the shelf from coby, and webers did you want to go new or second hand?

Well the engine is stripped I would go for a cam that is much more driveable than the A6.

They are ok if your engine is constantly sitting above 6000-7000rpm, but hopeless trying to drive anywhere in traffic.

Technology in cam designs is on our side these days letting us have a nice engine tone with a good rev range and driveability all in one.

Just food for thought as I have had that cam and sidedraght combo and it wasn't very friendly on the road.

 

Also you will have to have very well built tuned extractors and a well thought out exhaust to gain any benifits from the cam/carb combo too
