Nice vids & pics. Reply: Camshaft and valve springs then intake manifold then ehaust then carb. The ususal.
Try to read the tach in my vid: http://youtube.com/watch?v=2HgsE4a7YkQ

Video of it on the dyno: http://youtube.com/watch?v=6RpkfF-IiVY
The cam and springs will get you the upper RPM range.

I was thinking along the lines of easy things for now lol?
Like does it maybe need a carb rebuild? Or anything sound out of place?

They both sound fine to me. No trace of smoke in the exhaust at idle in the vids. There is a wealth of knowledge here if you decide to "improve" them above stock. Mine doesn't idle too spiffy thanks to late timing and a 280 Isky cam: YouTube - '88 TransAm at idle It struggles a bit when the A/C is on at idle and stopped in gear .
