    Hey all, just an update... Turns out it needed a dizzy cap! Swapped it out and it fired right up... Then I rebuilt the trans cuz it lost 3rd gear LOL! She's running well now though haha

    Thanks again for all the help guys!

    Still dosen't explain why gas overflows out of your carb while cranking it over. I would want to get to the bottom of that.

    I have a feeling the new fuel pump I got might be pulling more pressure than stock.. I'm gonna get a fuel pressure gauge(one of those ones that mounts right in the line) and get a regulator if thats the problem... The weird thing is, the car bogs sometimes when I get on it.. Maybe it's running too rich?
