Hi Guys,
Sorry to be so needy, but I've been having trouble again.
The car would not start this morning. The battery voltage was 12.5.
Just for good measure I put the battery charger on and tried later without success.

The smell of gas is pretty strong, so I suspect that I have a flooding problem.

I made a few checks:

Fuel pressure at log is 6 psi
Fuel levels in the bowls are at the bottom of the treads.
No visible sign of fuel leaking into carb with fuel pump running.
I pulled a plug and it was clean and dry.

However .... the throttle plates are wet.

I called Hooters and had two young women in heels try to push start the car, but that didn't work either
