Alrighty.  After a ton of help and great advice by other forum members (read the discussion here), I've got it running pretty well.  The culprits turned out to be:

  1. Blockage in the fuel tank and/or the lines
  2. Marginal fuel pump
  3. Mis-set timing
  4. Float bowls set incorrectly (fixed above)
  5. Maladjusted carbs (much too lean)

I put the car back up on dollies and rolled it back into its spot so I can get my daily driver back in the garage:

(a garage-mahal it ain't, but it works)

In the weeks to come, I'll be dropping the fuel tank for inspection & cleaning, respraying the airbox and doing some exhaust work (there's a small leak between the manifold & downpipes).
