71 340 running bad

Everything is new. Car makes no vacuum. If you put it close to where it is supposed to be timed it quits. 4972 thermoquad rebuilt by harms, seems rich? Car gas fouled two sets of plugs just trying to keep it running. Help please
Check your ignition. When ignitions do not fire correctly they can give you a so called "rich" burn. Do a cylinder pressure test and if everything is fine it would most likely have to be ignition related. Also keep in mind "Ignition" means everything from the alternater to the plug. I have seen just a half a volt drop out of the alternator with a pulley change produce a black plug without touching the carb.
