Do you have carbs or FI? Maybe a stuck float if you have carbs, a stuck injector or cold start valve if its FI

If you're running FI and just put everything back together did you make sure the fuel pressure regulator is in right?
When I put mine back together it started and ran fine at first then I couldn't get it started. Luckily Clayton looked down into the plenumn before we tried any more because he found over a pint of raw fuel. The pressure at the feed side of the regulator pegged a meter at 160 lbs and was forcing fuel through the cold start valve... |

Also, the car would flood
I could let it run and it would kind of struggle... but driving it would flood it, and I would have to wait several minutes to start it again.... Just adding to the problem list to help out |

If it's injected you might have some vacuum hoses in the wrong places. This will cause a smokey effect.

I can't recall which are the culprits. Do a search on vacuum hose connections. I'm sure the answer will pop up unless someone "In the Know" chimes in. There are some diagrams of vacuum hose connections floating around too. Pelican has some.
I have one that has most correct connectinos but some are shown as wrong and it's a wee bit hard to follow. ......b Attached image(s)
