I finally fixed the problem and in the end, it had nothing to do with the laundry list of parts I replaced. Instead, I replaced the gasoline. Most gas out there has 10% ethanol, which evaporates at a lower temperature than regular gas. It’s also terrible for old cars. Since these cars sit for a while, it’ll rust your metal gas tank and create a bunch of issues (eats away at seals, etc). It’ll also make your car run like what you described. The simple fix: use “Rec Fuel” - recreation fuel, which is non-ethanol gas. You can usually find that at a marina, since boat owners don’t want the same issues either and also because of the environmental risks of ethanol gas in a boat engine. Hope that helps! It solved all of my problems.
