They don't.
What part of the country are you in Darth? It's almost frustrating to read some of the issues you are having, knowing that most are fairly simple things to someone who knows these cars. It's certainly understandable knowing that you were not 'raised up' around these nearly 50 year old cars...so don't think I'm knocking your ability to handle them. You just need some hands-on help.
Some of your engine problems could be more serious but there's no way to judge without someone 'in the know' to put their eyes and hands on the car. I'd like to see you meet up with someone on this sight (or in a local car club perhaps) who could go over the car with you and give you some guidance.
These cars are really much more simple to work on and troubleshoot than modern vehicles...IF you understand how they function.
