Carburettor Trouble

I just bought a new 2150 Motocraft carburettor when I did the Duraspark conversion removing the old computer driven fuel/emission system. Now it starts and runs until you give it throttle then it floods out or flame comes up out of the top of the carb. What adjustment does it need?

Timing may be too slow or weak spark.

I checked the timing, it's spot on, and it has good spark. It seems to be the fast idle setting I'm not getting right. When I give it gas it bogs down, or flame shoots up out of the carb, still confused?
