Check your distributor position.

If you didn't set TDC#1 on compression stroke before you removed the distributor, then you'll have to get TDC#1 on compression stroke now, and wherever the rotor points make THAT the #1 spark plug wire, then rerun the wires to firing order clockwise on distributor.

Retime the engine ..if the flooding is excessive, you might have a stuck fuel inlet needle

ok it was very easy fix i pulled the distributor out and the number 1 plug made sure it was at top dead center then reinstalled the distributor i think i had it at 180 degrees once i did that started right up and re timed with my light at 10 degrees advance runs great and went on the street and sprayed to make sure no pre detonation all good

Happens to all(or some) of us. I just rebuilt a t-56 and smoked it because I forgot to fill it with oil!
