Sounds like you need to swap to a intake and carb. Have you swapped injectos?

Putting an antique out-dated carb on it will not solve his starter issues.

Are you sure you hooked up the starter wires correctly when you installed the new one? Since you said you turned the key and nothing happens that leads me to there. Also every time you turn the key I think the injectors will squirt too, so there is why the cylinders filled up with fuel.

sounds like it was hydrolocked...are you sure what came out of the engine was completely gasoline and not h2o as well?

Exactly what i was thinking. Not knocking TPI but it is outdated as well as a carb.

LOL I woulr run a carb over TPI any day of the week and in most cases over fuel injection.

Fastest cars that I know are all carbed, only a few that are injected.

I would not be so quick to bash a carb.

When buying any engine used I would at least pull the heads and pan and check everything.

If its hydrolocking and you suspect no engine damage pull all the plugs, pull the fuse for the fuel pump and crank the engine over for a bit, this will blow out all the water.

Hope it wasnt water, that would suck.

Carbs are for racing, fuel injection is for street cars.

Unless you're using a power adder, then fuel injection is better for racing. Infinite adjustments without getting your hands dirty is awesome.
