Didn't it come with a carb? lol.
Rats nest and cats go bye bye. You will need headers and a free flowing exhaust before even thinking about an aftermarket carb. What carb do you have in mind? You will need to upgrade the fuel pump, add an fpr and fpg. Acyonym interpretation is a test of your mechanical abilities. haha

Won't do much good without a header and freer flowing exhaust. Plus whatever carb you get make sure its been prepped for a rotary or you'll have a lot of tunin' to do to make it run right. Look for a Weber or Dellorto prepped by Racing Beat for instance and you should be on the right path.
