Likely vacuum lines plumbed wrong is related too, but that's for my other thread.

I'm thinking having a manual choke and little knowledge on the tricks of a carbed car makes my life more irritating than it has to be.
Hard starting + stalling in gear could mean your timing is out of whack. Go get a timing light

Don't sweat the learning curve. I'm well over 20 years into my car and still figuring out how to make this thing work.
