Pictures.

Sometimes hard to keep running when cold- your choke and fast idle cam need adjustment.

What "code"?

Don't forget you have "float level" and "float drop". When you have too much float drop, like yours, the float can stick on the bottom causing the carb to flood.

Are the butterflies completely closing?

Aren't some boats reverse rotation?

You might have to buy a complete carb.

Remove the hood.

Many oil filters have a bypass valve built into them. Replace your oil filter with a quality replacement.

Confirm the temp and your gauge.

Better pictures.

Pressurize the cooling system to find the leak.

Spark plug wires.

Rotors and drums can be resurfaced. Select "Best Quality" at your local auto store.

Yes, welcome. Do not start your life with an old car replacing parts just because they are old. Old cars can be very simple and reliable. You are in the right place. You will get a little education. Your solution will probably be simple.

While idling put hand over carb opening- choke it. Does the engine speed up? This would indicate a lean condition, a carb problem/vacuum leak. Take a compression test. Tight valves?

Yes, clean it. With age it forms a hard coating inside that defies cleaning. Check it's operation by blowing/sucking to confirm open/closed.

Valve cover gaskets, burning oil. Can't do better w/o pictures.

That looks like the old vacuum fitting that goes to the brake booster. Your car has seen many modifications over the years and it will take a while to sort it out. You have come to the right place.

Assuming large hose from the "T" is power brake booster. Eliminate all this stuff to get it running.

Vacuum leak?

Looking good. Just confirm that you haven't wound it too tight. That little coil spring is an anti-rattle spring.

How much do want to spend on it? This will be a very expensive rebuild.

Check for sinking floats.

Bad wires?

Check vacuum advance diaphragm.

#1 looks to me like it is over-heating. Since in the beginning there is some inconsistencies in the readings ,I would try another brand of plug and see if that continues.

How old are the ignition wires? I have seen wires that will occasionally arc even though they ohm out OK. This is due a breakdown in the insulation by antifreeze soaking. Try looking at your motor running at night to see it.

PVC or intake gasket. Is crankase vented?

If your motor dies when you install your air cleaner- there is something wrong with your air cleaner! Or- the A/C stud is pulling and warping something.
