The items that you link to look as though they would fit. I see it says there may be a modification to the shift linkage necessary. You know, the original magnum manifolds are about the best for flow if you can't find better aftermarket items.

Headers on that car are more or less a waste of money. The original manifolds flow better than you would think. You will get practically as much out of dual exhausts, which can be made by a local muffler shop.

The New Yorker motor is the same as the one they used in 440 six pack cars, except with a 4 barrel carb. If you get it running right you will think you are driving a Caddy with an afterburner.

Concentrate on tuning the motor up. If it has good compression and good oil pressure, that is all it should need. Don't forget to change the oil in the trans, and rear axle, and check the universal joints.

runs good chaged oil going to end up going with points converter but the trans fluid and filter should i really change them as its has 104k i herd sometimes that will cause a trans to start slipping. Right now im having a VERY! hard time finding a headlight switch for it as its a toggel type and i dont have dash lights ugh

Doesn't that car have a thumbwheel switch for the dash lights? Did you check the "instruments" fuse? If you have no taillights and no dash lights, it's probably a fuse.
