You do not need to post a poll about your problem.

Check your timing! if it's blowing gas up thru the carb the timing is off

i could be a number of things did you make sure the fireing order is right and when you put your timing chain in did you make sure that you where at top dead center and lined up all right? or the gap in your plugs could be wrong//// the quickest way to check to see if you are at top dead center is to find your number 1 cylinder and take the plug out and stick a screwdriver in the hole and manualy turn over your crank until the screwdriver is as high as it will go and then look at your distributer bug and it should be pretty close to the number 1 plug wire or the total oppisite side and if its way off, you have problems..... oh also check your coil and see if its good... but really it could be a number of things
