Guys and Gals need some help

Just tried starting a 383 storker project and the motor runs for about 3 seconds dies. Starts back up runs 2 seconds dies, then just cranks and flames come from the carb.

Checked all wires and they are running correct. Setup timing to be 0 and went all th way up to 12 deg. Still doing the same. Getting about 5psi of fuel pressure. Pulled the bowl and foud #65 jets in the carb.

My setup
383 stroker
280H Comp Cam
Vortech heads
Airgap edelbrech intake
4160 Holley Carb
HEI dist.
ALL new never ran.

Please help me out, any suggestion on how to make the engine run and without flames.
