Performance upgrades for a 307 82' delta 88
Well so far my car runs great but i wanna see how much performance i can get out of it. I heard that a cherry bomb glass pack will give a V8 some HP but i wanted to know if it would apply to my car and is there any other tips/parts i could get?

I believe you're referring to the black plastic clip that holds the window in the track. Those are available at Autozone in the HELP section. You razorblade the old clip off, slide the new one over the hole, put the window back into the track, and crimp the nub through the hole in the glass. I just use 2 flat head screwdrivers, stick em in both sides of the glass, and turn them sideways to apply enough pressure to snap it together.
As far as the rear door handle-to-latch, remove the rear door panel, and there are metal connecting rods that connect the outside handle to the latch. It probably just fell out of the hole.]

Glasspacks will make the car SOUND faster...
Unfortunately, the butt dyno is notoriously inaccurate. The only reasonable performance upgrade for this car is to replace the 307 with a 350, 403. or 455.

And thanks for the advice Joe, now you got me thinking about putting a 455 in my boat of a car
