fuel or fire

[qzillafan]

hey im new to this site but it seems its where i want to be. i recently bought a 79 chevy with a 6 inch lift it has a edelbrock 600 carb with a torker2 intake mounted on a 350 when i got it i had to put on the carb it has a electric choke that i wired to a switched 12volt source before i wired it up it took forever for it to start. but when it finally did it ran great then i shut it off and it wouldnt start again. since then i tried to start it but no luck. even after i wired it up still nothing so anyway no go with or without the choke i took out a spark plug and it has fire but the plugs wet i dont smell gas like i would if it was flooded im a small engin mech. so this is all new to me can anybody tell me what to do next i even tried starting fluid but got nothing not even a backfire i took the carb off this morning and cleaned it inside and out
