Completed the entire rewire.

With that, I was actually able to start the car and have it run off the fuel pump.

The fuel pump is the loudest one I have ever heard. So that will need to get replaced post-haste.

The engine runs, but it was carb issues. Even warm, it won't run unless the electric choke stays on. Also, with the slightest blip of the throttle, it wants to run away. So I think the carb is pretty gummed up and needs to be rebuilt.

Also, it's currently running on fuel that is probably 2-3 years old but did have a stabilizer put into it when stored.

It appears to have nearly a full tank. So that will be fun figuring out where to get rid of 15+ gallons of stale fuel.

Anyway, here is a video of it starting and running. It's pretty loud with no air filter on it.
