Get yourself some good int/ exh gaskets. Search remflex. there is a guy here selling these (irongiant?) very good quality. The other thing is don't just put everything back together. have the int/ exh machined for $40. Trust me it will be well worth it.

your compression numbers are fine. The low on the 4th cyl is really not that low. it is ok to have a 10% or so difference on cyl's. much more than that then start looking at a possible valve job but not before then.

the stumbling you have in the carb could be the secondary diaphragm as well as a vacuum leak. very common for these to deteriorate and fail. easy fix and cheap.

replace any hose that is cracked or missing. follow the fsm or the vacuum detail on the inner passenger fender.

I have found that when first starting out taking detailed pics before you start will help get things back to where they belong if you get stuck.

good luck. you are doing the right thing by doing some basic work yourself. it will pay dividends many times over.
