Today must be R-Tard Day!

Ok-here's the backstory. As some of you may know I picked up a '67 SWB GMC a few weeks ago and have been tinkering on it a few hours per week, trying to get it road worthy. Last weekend it came down to yankin' the points and installing a Pertronix ignition module. No worries there. At the same time I pulled off the Edelbrock 1404. cleaned out all the jets, seats, installed new gaskets & accelerator pump and ditched the manual choke setup for an electric retro-fit kit. Again, no major problems there. I had some time a couple days ago and stabbed the dizzy and re-mounted the carb. Got the engine @ #1 TDC to make sure I wasn't 180 out......everything checks out. Hit the key and pop....whir, whir whir.....pop! The SOB won't light off! I check again to make sure the dizzy is indexed correctly. I pull a plug to make sure I'm getting spark- all good there. I've now tried for 3-days to get this POS to fire and all I ever get it the popping and spitting fuel back through carb.
What's da' haps with all this? Obviously I've made a tardtastic mistake somewhere. Any advice on how to remedy my situation?

See....the timing mark is pretty close to TDC

And the Rotor is pointing slightly ahead of the #1 Wire tower.
