After making patches for my floor pans, fixing the seat belt mounts, a new fuel pump and new wiring to the fuel pump, a new fan belt, new starter, removing the alternator and seeing what was wrong with it(nothing was wrong, the wire that goes to the starter broke off), putting the alt back in, new coil, new plugs, new wires my car finally made it to the road and everything went right. The two times i was able to drive the car i had to tow it home. First time, fuel pump went out. Second time, the wire from the alt to the starter broke off and stopped charging the battery. I have had the car for about two months and it was great to drive it without worrying. Only drove it around the neighborhood but plan to drive a little further tomorrow since i don't have school. Here are some pictures my mom took.

We fixed the issue with the carb and not spraying into both barrels. The engine runs so much smoother and idles at a constant rpm. We got the car running again, i had a bad battery. Still interested in knowing why it wouldn't start on starter fluid, but it runs great now so im not gonna worry about it. Now i have to do bodywork and its off to paint and then a new set of rims. I have definitely been looking for another carb, just don't have the money right now, saving for next semester of college!
