Newbie advice, What should I take on? Options

[level914]

I'm trying to restore a 1976 2.0. It has sat for over ten years. I'm at the point where I got the thing running. I have replaced the fuel lines, had the gas tank refinished and boiled out, did the pionts, condenser and plug wires along with plugs. Replaced all vaccum lines with new ones. Changed the oil and filter. And generally cleaned all the electrical. I'm pretty sure all the hoses are in the right place.

I bought the car thinking that it would be a good project to learn on. Little did I know how complicated it is for how small it is. Anyway, this being the first car I've ever worked on, I'm wondering which tasks I should take on, and which ones I should have a shop take care of.

Thanks to the help from the bbs, I have gotten to the point where the car starts up instantly. It seems to idle high, but by adjusting the ecu I can maintain a good idle of 900-1000. I'm not even sure if I should be adjusting the computer. Anyway, I have poor throttle resposne and have to feather the gas pedal to get it to rev up. I also have a lot of white smoke coming out of the exhaust. It was mentioned that I need a valve adjustment and to get my timing right. Would it be worth it to get it in good enough shape to take it to a shop where they could do my valves, timing, fuel pressure, computer settings, injectors etc.

Thanks for taking the time to veiw my post.
