I will ask my Jewish daughter in law to make some kosher chicken soup as additive to my Cobra

Lou,
The absence of lead as stated earlier will not hurt for a long, long time of usage. I just don't want you to handle it in any form. Even great chicken soup won't cure those effects.
Listen, especially if you're considering parts upgrades, you need to get the basics better.
Like your idle advance should be between 12 and 18 degrees and 36 or so total-not 8 BTDC.
You probably have a very mild cam and not much displacement so you'd need to coordinate several changes if you're after more power. Ask questions if bigger power is what you seek.
If your car drives fine and gets you around, just leave as is. You can easily get more pep by getting the timing right-not by additives, mothballs, meatballs or av/race gas.
