Nice Three Amigos reference, man.

But I've brought more than my fair share of old non-runners back from the dead, you really have to check so many things. Once the basics are done, the real issues will arise. Odds are, you're going to have to dip into the carb some. Personally, I'd rebuild it or pay someone to do it the right way. Since it's been sitting for so long, there is going to be some deposits in the bowl(s) and the jets are going to have junk in them.

It's not an easy road but if the car is rust free, it'll be worth it long-term.
