Engine Problems, still...
 
Someone please tell me what's wrong. My engine will crank, try to start, will run extremely rough for half a second, then die with a big cloud of gas/air billowing out of the carb. I just replaced the plugs, and the carb (replaced the Holley with an Edelbrock). I pulled a plug while someone cranked it and it was sparking.

Someone thought it could still be electrical, and suggested I replace the coil and electronic module. Before I do this, does anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks

Nope, sure haven't. Had the same thought, but I haven't touched it.

Just FYI incase anyone else runs into this problem. Finally got my car fixed. Seems a bunch of the wires for the electronic ignition were burnt and bare. Had them all replaced, now my car runs fine. Just something to keep in mind if you car ever acts up.
