is the throttle cable to tight haveing the gas just pouring in?
did you read my previous post?
and what did you mean by this? the pick up is in the distributor and the box for it is on the firewall...
electronic ignition system with a distributor based trigger.
I have to check the throttle cable as well, the carb was changed and dont know if it was adjusted, i may remove the throttle cable for my next start up attempt

hahaha no!
like moparkid said ... I always pop out my number one plug and put my finger in the hole ,crank the engine over until I hear a PPPHHHHFFFFSSSSSTTTTT past my finger and immediately stop cranking .....then check the orientation of your rotor and you should either be on or just after the number one position.
also check to make sure all your plug wires are in correct order, you have good spark plugs, if your have points and condensor you need to make sure they are good and adjusted properly,check your coil and make sure it is wired correctly.
the thing I am not clear on.....is.... did the engine run correctly PRIOR to this carb swap? if not than you are taking a shot in the dark......for all you/we know ...your timing chain has jumped a tooth or has been installed incorrectly or you have a bent valve ,or bad piston rings .
you need to give more information on exactly what is is you have,you are doing,what has been done and what parts you are working with.
remember stupid questions get stupid answers.....you can only expect to be helped equal to the amount of effort you put into your question.
also...pictures help because someone with an eagle eye may spot something out of place that you might be over looking
Thanks guys, sorry about my fit on the jokes. Its all in fun. I will try another day with other options and update

My Edelbrock 1406 600cfm carb was having major troubles... I bought a regulator and set it to 5.5lbs as the manual said and I was good to go!
Seriously I would have tossed that carb and installed a Holley first. I wouldn't waste my time on it.
Like you say we all gotta learn someway and I rather learn by burning off my eyebrows then burning my wallet.
