Thanks for the suggestions. The info on using an O2 sensor is very helpful. I'll rebuild the Q-jet stock and go from there.
No one has mentioned using a pyrometer. Would this be helpful to keep from running too lean and burning valves, etc.? They aren't cheap--couple hundred bucks--so I'd want to know it was worthwhile. If so, where in the header should I weld in the bung for it?
I do intend to do the brakes, wheel bearings, etc. That's all routine maintenance that needs to happen in time. I have already drained all the fluids, and will replace the rear diff with synthetic.
Thanks again,
