Get the pressure to the carbs checked. No more than 3 to 4 PSI. More than that and the fuel pressure will blow past the floats and cause a very rich running condition.

George thank you for your reply .I did replace the fuel pump with a Facet pump as far as the Carburetors I had them rebuilt by a guy in Colorado I can't recall his name at this time. What can I do to get this car running right. Thanks Michael

Michael your carbs rebuilt by who--or whom? If your floats are set correctly then you possibly have a stuck choke (or in your case both) or the choke cable is out of adjustment. You also may have an incorrect fuel pump that is providing too much pressure and that would act like bad floats etc.
The Facet pump is 4.5 psi, if this is problem then what pump do you recommend .Thank You Ps. William what mechanic do recommend in Birmingham AL
