Fantastic! I can identify with your experience; my car ran for the first time in many years last summer after a complete teardown and reassembly. What an accomplishment for you.
I had the same problem with the car continuing to run with the key off the first time I started it. I even disconnected the battery and it kept going! The fix was to insert a diode in the "run" circuit.
