Fuel delivery issues
Ok, I just finally got back under the car and found the issue. If you look at the image below, that's the section between the sending unit outlet and the first section of steel line. Dry rotted all to hell. Replaced it with brand new hose and she fired right up. Not only that but actually filled the filter more than it was before.
I also somewhat figured out part of the brake issue, the last time the car was moved from the shop that I had help me with the electrical, the tow truck driver applied the parking brake. I never saw it was engaged. I still have a softer than normal pedal but I think that's just lines that need to be bled or the Master Cylinder needs attention.
Serious thanks for everyone who posted assistance on this issue. I'm glad she's running again at least.
