really need advice

Yep, I'm still here. This particular problem was unbelievably simple. One of the rubber fuel lines off the fuel tank developed a kink in it and fuel supply to the carb was not sufficient to keep the car running. I had a friend who has completely restored a 1966 Convertible re-work the carb (he is going to look for OEM equipment since my carb is not original). I still have occasional issues with the fuel delivery, but I think if I can get an original carb on it, most of the problems will be resolved. I still get some valve chatter due to unleaded fuel even when I put lead substitute in the car, but overall the car is running much better.
