Finally got her running, all thanks to you all on the other posts.
I seriously thank you all for everything still a little odds and ends to do but over all shes running and staying running got her to idle.
Timing is all good.
Now just need new carb and exhaust and shes completely done.

Also one small problem, the car seems to not be engaging, like when I took her for a drive around the block when I would push the gas to get it going it didn't budge it felt like coasting even when I would push the gas to get it up and go.
Also the gas in the carb is flooding so it will shut it down when I push on the gas to mush, hence why I need a new carb.
But I got a sweet deal from a guy on the last post so I will be contacting him right after this is posted.

But again thank you all so much.

Here's some videos to show you all how she is now.

Here's the video of the carb, The gas is coming out of the bottom of the carb onto the intake.

Glad to hear that. You should be able to find a good quadrajet at any salvage yard. You need to get your fan shroud back on also. Check and make sure your transmission fluid is full (engine warm and in park).

Yes I thank you so much for the light, helped out a ton.
Also there is a guy on here (cameroadam) who has a Holley 4160 (600CFM) still in the box for 75$ was wondering if I should get that?
But the guy who put it in said that is the fan shroud that should be on my car.
Okay i will check the fluid, But I think he just put some in when he dropped it all in.
