Default Help me please...

Guys, I need help making a decision. At the moment I have 2 possible options that I can do in the next few weeks. I can only do one or the other, and I can't decide which one I should do. What do you guys think?

Option A: fix headlight



Option B: Get new Edelbrock carburetor and manifold

Thanks

New Edelbrock manifold and carb. If i were you, i would take off the cover, and slowly work it out. It wouldn't be too hard, just go slow and easy.

I guess if you plan to do both at some point in time any way, I would do the intake and carb before painting. Last thing you would want to do is paint and then damage the new paint doing engine work.

The headlight surrounds are pot metal and dents can't be worked out. They'll just crack in-two. They're a low-dollar used piece on eBay, though.

As for the choice - if the car's running fine as is (and you're only wanting to improve its performance), I say fix the headlight first.
