Hi Kevin, good progress! You say that the engine stumbles and dies on anything more than veeery slowly accelerating. Is your accelerator pump working properly? A freind once rebuilt his carb and the accel pump was k-o he had similar symptoms.

Oil pressure looks good. These engines will only make 35psi if I remember corectly. The oil pump has a relief valve.
Water temp in the middle of the gauge looks good to me. Keep an eye for drips from your heater core, the whisps of steam indicate a leak there.
