Re: I could use some Quadrajet Guru help

You have a combination of problems.
You need to verify tdc #1 is accurate on your balancer/timing tab.
Then set your initial timing (with the vac advance disconnected).
On your carb running rich, you shouldn't smell it when it's idling. You might have the float too high, choke not open, needle installed on the float wrong or a bad needle/seat.
Quadrajets handle 7 psi pressure so most pumps work. THe wells usually leak after the motor has been heated right up but can leak if they're installed wrong. Epoxy works but the ultimate cure is to drill and install plugs.
