Based on some direction from the forum I was able to narrow the issue to the throttle linkage. I reset that and upon restart it holds a steady 1500 rpm. I adjusted the return stop and was able to get it to 1300. Still high but workable for now.

I have some other issues I need to sort through, I turned on the hazard lights and got the front right turn light on, the back left turn and reverse light and the right brake light. Clearly a bit of work to do there. The turn indicator lights came on with the hazard switch so that is good.

The red alternator light came on but it seems that the alternator is putting out juice.

The Tach and the oil pressure gauges were working but the fuel and temp were not reading anything. There may not be enough gas in the tank and I might have not let the car run long enough to get a reading for the temp.

One other thing I noticed is that there is some exhaust coming out of the joint between the exhaust manifold and the tail pipe so that might need a tighten up.

Overall I don't think it is too bad.
