I Cant Take It Anymore Help Me!!!!!!

It is already dropped in, I rotated the distributor with it all in with just the hold down removed.

I have the distributor stabbed properly, I didn't remove it restab it. What I did was verify TDC witha piston stop to make sure the timing pointer was correct. It is 0 = 0 degrees, so what Ronstang said to do was crank the engine over till it was on the compression stroke and go to 10 degrees on the damper with the distributor in. I then marked where the number one plug wire went in on the distributor. I then took the cap off and rotated the distributor until the rotor was pointing exactly where the number one plug wire is. This would then set my timing at exactly 10 degrees or close enough for to start over, this puts my vacuum advance in the 4-5 oclock position if you look at it from the front(I am trying to paint an image of this for you guys, think where your vacuum advance would be pointing right now were your timing here, so I am sure it is on the right tooth). Now that I have confirmend my timing pointers are accurate. Before when I had the car started I could not advance it enough to get it to start with the wires the way they are right now(I had it touching the thermostat neck and all I would get were chugs like it was about to start, when I pulled the cap off to check the rotor I had to put the wires back where they were if I wanted to get to 10 degrees otherwise I couldn't retard it that much, now the wires are proper, and the advance is pointing in the 4-5 oclock position), so I had jumped them clockwise one so I was super advanced before. My firing order is correct also I know that for a fact, it is a early 302 cam so that is the firing order I am running. So we can cross that possibility off the list. Man I am dying to drive this thing this weekend we gotta figure this out.

Wait a minute I just checked the carb and the mixture screws were all out like 3 turns, I put them all the way in and turned them out 1.5 turns. I also noticed that my floats seem high, they are at the very top of the sight glass with the car on an incline. I will put it down the car off jackstands and see where the floats are then. They are supposed to be at the bottom of the sight glass correct? I know this is so with holleys isn't demon the same?

I also have checked and turned the idle screws in all the way and then turned them out 1.5 turns. The fuel filter is a clear one and it is brand new. I would be able to tell if it were clogged so nope that is not a problem. The floats are also set properly to demon specs. Where else could I look, I have tried multiple times just pumping the carb twice and then cranking and all I get are little chugs like it is having a hard time starting. I am completely lost now.

I GOT HER RUNNING AND SET AT 14 DEGREES!!!!!!!! The problem was fouled plugs from the other carb, now it takes one turn of the key and Vroom!!!!!

Thanks, I just got to get the clutch to engage properly now and we are off.
