Header and bigger exhaust pipe (2 inch to 2 1/4) would help. Weber carb will help some more. You could get a camshaft regrind, I think Deltacams has something for the 1.8L.

A good tune up (plugs, points, cap and rotor at a minimum) will help if it hasn't been done in a while. Changing the fluids can also be a help, tho barely noticable. (Engine oil, trans oil, axle lube)

You could upgrade to electronic ignition also, that would help not only power but just in general.

I like the idea of the Weber. It does take alot of guessing out of the pile when you have a carb that don't get gunked up with crap and puts more air into the chamber.

Your 79 won't pass smog in Ca. with a custom carb on it.
You could do the exhaust stuff as long as you leave the cat in there.
