Tristessa and Kubelwagon were generous and came to help me solder and shrink wrap the wires to the idle stabilization unit to bypass it for now - those wires were just shot. Probably all contributing to problems. Started up and ran great after that!

Les Schwab confirmed a separated tire suspected by Gypsie. Took care of new tires today (correct rating and similar to the ones I have on now - maybe better).

Next projects to include figuring out a ticking lifter, front end bushings and upper and lower ball joints, sealing up a few pesky vacuum leaks, adding some risers in the rear, alignment, replacement headlight bulbs - keeping at it - one project at a time.
