Change the oil and drive it .put the old oil in it like it used back in its day.
One other thing you can do is with the motor running take the air cleaner off and with the motor running pour some Kerosene right down the carb you’ll want to have a hold of the throttle so you can rev it as needed it will smoke but if it is sticky it will help free it up
it will smoke out the exhaust.
last you may have some broken rings if they were not put in right

TAKE THE ONE OFF THE CAR AND TAKE IT APART AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. THEN GET SOME REAL LEMON JUICE AND GET A PAN TO PUT IT IN AND PUT WATER ENOUGH TO COVER IT AND ADD SOME LEMON JUICE THEN TURN THE HEAT ON WHEN IT JUST HAS SOME LITTLE BUBBLES ITS HOT ENOUGH LEAVE IT GO FOR SEVERAL HOURS . BEST DONE OUT SIDE. THEN YOU WILL BE TO TAKE THE REST OF THE CARB APART.
IF THE SCREWS DON’T COME OUT EASY COOK IT SOME MORE.
I USE A OLD CROCK POT THAT HAS SOME HEAT CONTROL.

If you can start the motor at night with no lights on you may see where you are losing some of your volts !
a bad wire will show up like a florescent light.

check the switch module down on the steering post ,This is where the switch working is .
the switch by the steering wheel is just got a rod that runs down the the module on top of the stiring shaft check the wires also at the module
Another option is put in a HEI distributor.
DONT GIVE UP.
MY 1980 FORD HAS A DELECRON ALTNATOR
ALSO CHECK THAT YOU HAVE A GOOD GROUND FROM THE BATTERY TO THE MOTOR.
Check both ends of the battery cables .

take a crock pot and some lemon juice (real lemon juice ) and put the carb parts in it and bring it to just starts to boil. YOU NEED TO CLEAN IT ALL THEN GET A NEW REPAIR KIT AND PUT IT BACK TOGETHER.
The old gaskets and diaphragm''s wont last in today’s GAS !

use a test light or ohms meter and see in you have a circuit on both sides of the points.
Setting as long as that has set it may take some good cleaning .
I use a little wet stone that never has had oil on it to clean the contacts.
TAKE THE POINTS OUT AND CLEAN IT ALL UP

It is a 19 inch tire

It must of been on something pretty good size.

the Tire is shot but the wheel I think would be usable !!
it may wind up as wall art or yard art if someone needs it would sell or trade
