Well I used the gauge, but probably could have arrived at the same result just following your tips. Got her dialed in now, running much better. Now I can move on to safety issues to get her road worthy.

Safety Hit List:
1. Figure out why I have a strong fuel smell in cabin when running
2. Service the brakes all around - they are functional but she dives to the right a little bit when I brake.
3. Clean up the steering wheel play as much as possible
4. Seat Belts - I have brackets on the floor for lap belts but I think I want to go with 3 point belts
5. Brake lights and turn signals
