Cool

That's a tall order with so little information.
What is your budget and what exactly would you like to do?
One easy way is to install headers and a more open exhaust, install a super-6 manifold and 2bbl carb, and go to electronic ignition if you aren't already there. Just some thoughts. Hope this helps.
Later.

Lightbulb Fast or Quick??

You should try advancing the timming and check to see if the advance is comming-in fast. (mechanical and vacuum) Total mechanical spark advance should be 30 to 32 degrees, all in by 2800 rpm. See how much timming you can give it with-out spark knock, while running premium gas.

Another thing to try is increasing the carb. jetting, step it up a few sizes richer and see how it runs.

A rear end gear swap can really change the way the car leave a stop light, go to the junk yard and look for a 3.23 or 3.55 rear-end to swap-in.

All these changes can be done cheap if you are "handy" with tools.

Idea hp / 6

You can mill that head up to .095" and raise the compression ratio up a bunch and rejett that carb and do some exhaust work to get it to mach up and run right. That will make you happy and keep it under 1000.
