When you press the accelerator does a stream of gas spray into each of the 2 primary carb barrels (toward the left side of the car)? Did you put the check ***** and weights back in their appropriate locations? Ball first then weight.

keep it simple first. check your fuel lines. check your fuel pressure. check your carb tuning. just dont put money into it if its not needed.
