She started up today and I was able to creep forward and then reverse up the hill and into the garage! Thanks so much for the helpful responses.

History on the car is it has been sitting for about 15 years and I purchased in January. Other than changing the oil, draining and flushing the tank, adding a fuel filter, disassembly cleaning and reassembly of the carbs, correcting the vacuum hose routing, new plugs and wires, I am just getting started on the revival.

The vacuum test today was again 15 inches and there was a miss every 5 seconds or so. Next step as suggested is to check valve tolerances and start over. I have new points and cap and rotor but have not replaced yet. I am just going to slow down and start with the valves and timing and getting the correct vacuum and then get back to the carbs.
