I am a new owner of a 69 mkIII a little about the car first and then my 
questions:

69 mkIII 
78,000 (Claimed original miles)
4 spd
manual choke
Jasmine Yellow
Black  leather seats
Southern California/AZ

My questions:

I want to get the most hp/torque and reliabilty as I can 

Pretending money is no object. (which it is but hell i can dream) What would be 
the best set up?

- Best carb set up?  Webers? Which one?
- Electronic ignition? 
- Elec fuel pump?
- K&N filters?
- I want to install headers and a dual exhaust. Does anyone make a SS dual 
exhaust with just 2 pipes out the back? for the MkIII?  (not crazy about the 
look of the Monza)
- ANY TIPS/TRICKS would be welcome!
- I have never owned a car with a manual choke?  How does it work and when do i 
use it?

I will use the car as a 3 season ride and plan on using it as a daily driver.  
I live in Massachusetts.  Any listers in the Cohasset area?

Thank you.
