Thank you kindly for all the help guys! I couldn't fight it anymore and sold the car. I just got really tired of buying and doing something every time with hopes of getting it running and every time something else pops up and the car is not drivable again. Oil light came back on again, and I just didn't want to rebuild the carb and replace the head gasket. So, I sold the car.

Nope, no fog or vapor, but there is a hissing sound as I step on the gas.
I have replaced spark plugs and wires yesterday, but this didn't help. Cap and rotor are coming next. Tgen I guess I will have everything ruled out and will take the carb off for rebuild...

I used oil flush and have replaced oil and filter, and this solved the problem of the oil light.
Now, I am down to carburetor issues. I still don't have a stable idle, and the car doesn't rev higher than 3k under throttle, as soon as I stop tapping on the gas pedal car stalls. Float level seems good now, jets were cleaned, not sure what this is.
Car still has old spark plugs and wires from 1991, I guess I can try replacing those now, along with the air filter.

The saga continues... I got to the float chamber again, as I realized that I can get to the jets and their passages from there. Cleaned the chamber up once again, took out the jets, cleaned up passages and jets. I got the car running. I could not get it to idle first, had to keep it at revs, then it got to idle.
And then the oil light came on! Funny thing is that as you start the car, the light is off, then as it runs for about 30 seconds to a minute, the light comes on.
I did replace oil and filter as I got the car. Then it flooded with gas and I drained oil and gas mixture, but I left the old (new) filter and just put in new oil. Could it be the cause?
I also saw some liquid under the car, seems like coolant, as it's light green. But it could be water too, as car set for months, and past week it's been raining almost every day. I saw no more leaks as I looked under the car later on... Coolant seems to be there...
I would appreciate any advice on the oil light however. Don't want to run the engine without lubrication and destroy it.
