Maintenance/Repairs

I bought a 1979 AMC Concord. The body is in great condition, and I just love my car. Unfortunately, it’s had a few kinks. The carburetor needed replaced (so said the mechanic) and a few other things - water pump, thermostat (I did that myself.) It just won’t keep running! It drives fine, but red light - engine is out. Now the mechanic says it’s the idle speed solenoid (it simply wasn’t there.) Will this fix my car once and for all?? Also, it’s missing a PCV valve. Can it run without it for a while/
