Moisture out your tail pipe is normal. Black spatter can be from several things. Poor combustion, lack of timing, leaking guides etc.

I assume ‘pin’ valve means needle/seat. How did you adjust it.
What did you set your initial timing at?
Thanks guys, sounds like I am on the right track.

The Carb is a quadrajet, Timing is 14 BTDC now. I didnt realize I had to change it when I did the conversion so before it was running terrible.. learning as I go. Yep, I am calling it the wrong thing, the carb was professionally rebuilt buy a guy who does nothing but quadrajets... good reviews, but I dont know what the float is actually set at. There was rusty residue in the bowl from where i ran the old gas tank before I realized all that was a problem. I cleaned it out with carb cleaners etc... and I think that took care of the loading problem in the bowl.
