new family member! 72 dart no budget build

Ok, as i mentioned, the guy i bought her from told me it ran at one time. however, i could see that it hadnt run in a long time. BUT IT SHOWED PROMISE!!! he mentioned that the car ran for a while after he swapped the slant 6 for a 318. Furthermore he mentioned several times that the carburetor was running to rich. I spyed an exploded muffler, so i thought it seemed more like a timing issue. (my dad told me he exploded the muffler on a rental one time, when he shut the car off at speed on the highway, and then re-started it at 60mph!)

so anyhow...

lets trouble shoot!
