Success! Fixed.
I got a pair of Mr. Gasket part#55 .063" thick 4 hole gaskets and that did the trick. Started up and idled. No bucking or thrashing or whistling. Dang that feels good. I set the idle speed, mixture and set the timing and it just purrs.
Now I can get on to finishing the car and maybe see some road time this summer.
Thank you all for your assitance.
