Q Jet Flooding - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am one step away from striking a match...

1967 Chevy C10 V8 with Q-Jet (17041250) Truck was running fine until the other morning. When I tried to crank it, it cranked but would not go much above an idle. When I give it more gas, the sound of the motor changes but no more RPMs. Give it a bit more gas and it backfires through the carb and spits gas on the hood. I figure it is time for a rebuild anyway, so I pick up a rebuild kit and rebuild it tonight. No change at all. Any ideas? What am I missing? Is there something else I should be looking at?
