After all of my initial work, it just has never run quite right enough for me to feel confident driving more than a block or so away. So, I bought another carburetor rebuild kit, cleaned and rebuilt the carburetor doing some things I didn't do the first time (like sand the accelerator pump bore) put it all back together and now it is running great! Such a difference. The brake lights weren't working either. All of the other lights worked but the brake lights. Did some investigating and found the brake pedal switch was working and the wire was good all the way back to the turn signal switch. Since the turn signal switch didn't cost much, I just bought a new one and replaced it. Now the brake lights are working.
I've now driven it a few miles around town and went to the gas station and got gas for it. Now I need to get it to the DMV for inspection and transfer of title (Fun!).
Next up: new shocks and general inspection of suspension.
