'71 Deville 472 cam and header help

Remove this ad
Hi everyone, I am new to this forum, but I have been reading through a lot of the posts, and it sounds like there's a lot of knowledgeabe folks in here.

I just bought a 1971 Cadillac Coupe Deville. I has a rebuilt 472 from a '74. It runs pretty good right now, but I am going to give it a solid tuneup. So here are some of my questions.

1. I definitely want to switch to HEI, and leaning towards the Pertronix Ignitor. Any reason to get the Ignitor II instead? Worthwhile to upgrade to Flamethrower coil?

2. Anyone run a performance cam in their 472? Which ones are good, any links or names would be helpful.

3. Header suggestions? Heads suggestions?

I guess I don't want to go too crazy or expensive with the engine mods. I won't be racing it or anything, just nice to have a little power and a good sound. and a good ride. Thanks.
