I worked on the car a little last night. I'm not sure it's worth it. I might be parting it out. :(

I was wrong on the model. It's a 2462, which is the 200. The tag says the paint code is X, which is black.
The trim code is 63, but I don't know what that means. Anyone? Or a link to some of the fine .pdf files that are on this sight.

I got it home late last night and didn't have time to look it over too well. It's a 2402. I'll update more later.

I saw that on craigslist last week. I almost bought it just to save it from the humiliation.

Dwell is a function of the point gap, wear block and points cam. If you set the points to specs but the dwell is off, there is something wrong.
First, see if there is any wiggle to the distributor shaft. If there is, you need new bushings. You will never get a good running engine with an ignition system that is bouncing all over the place. Second, take a good look at the points cam. The points wear block of the points isn't full width of the cam. So it wears in the middle. If those look good, put in a new set of points. 5000 miles is enough to wear down the wear block. It's called a wear block for a reason. The dwell reading is more important than the points gap.

While yes, a larger displacement will get you more power, most of the improvement you will get will come from an improved ring seal.
The '54 Super Clipper 327 put out 165hp, or 2ci per horsepower. Adding 11ci should get you 6hp, all other things being equal.

Download the service manual PDF and take a look. This is covered in the fuel section.

With a dead cold engine, if you open the throttle slightly, the choke should fall closed completely. Also, the throttle stop screw should be on the fast idel cam. The choke plate should be able to pushed open like 3/8 of an inch without touching the throttle. When the engine is warmed up, the choke should be pulled open completely. And slightly opening the throttle will let the fast idel cam fall out of the way.
That took longer to type on the iPhone than it takes to check.
