Long update. Took Brutus to a local garage with expensive ace mechanic to get alignment. Couldn't do because his equipment not compatable with my car set-up . I asked if miss was ignition or carb. He found that #6 was not fireing and total timeing was only 20 degree ( my bad) --fixed those and then the carb could be tuned. WOW ! Ole Brutus has some scat now ! Got the loose alternator wire fixed and a few other minor wiring issues taken care of. Long story, but I found that I was overfilling the oil and that caused oil burning and oil leaks. I now run with oil level showing one qt . low on the stock dipstick and those problems have gone away I am very pleased with how Brutus turned out with driving and performance.
