sounds like maybe a vacuum leak somewhere. after checking the various vac tubes, have you tried the old squirt some WD-40 or similar around the carb base/gasket area, and the intake manifold to head areas? I'm assuming you have cleaned out the gas tank and lines so no water or old gas...
man, got it right down to the real nitty gritty, and jumping right in!
love that torpedo body style as well.
gonna make it a lowered resto-mod, rat rod, stock?
best wishes on your project regardless.
if you go to the 66-67charger.com forum, you'll find lotsa info in The Resource Guide section.
also, many of us 1st gen owners have bits and pieces laying around so don't be bashful checking for parts vs repro sources.
and good luck and have fun with your project.

Echoing sentiments above, what a great tribute to your brother; for yourselves and other family members...
Flanging
I used the Vise Grip style for some floor pan work I did many moons ago but no experience on body panels. It would certainly be very tedious to hand flange a long section and maybe some concern about waviness, but if time is not an issue, then what the hey!
Good luck on your...

Super find! Body looks in great shape and no rusty frame, floor pans, dog legs, cowls, etc. You're way ahead of the game!
