I have put new points, condenser, distributor cap, rotor, and plugs in the car (points and plugs are gapped). Had it running!

I have done a compression test, fuel is pumping, and there is fresh gas.

Prior to this car, I did a lot of work on snowmobiles etc. The problem is, I don't know a lot about this style of carburetor. It doesn't make sense to me. So I just cleaned them and put them back together the same way. I figure this is a carb problem but I don't know where to go from here.
The folks at ZTherapy.com might shed some light on your carb issues. Check out their web-site first. Lots of good information there.

Congrats on getting it running BTW! That's a big accomplishment.
