I can help you a little with the Edelbrock carb. They hate anything over 6 psi. 5.5 is what Edelbrock recommends setting your regulator at. If you have 9 psi, you surely have been blowing fuel by the needles and seats and have been flooding the engine. Possibly a cause of the glowing headers, and the extra noise. Fuel still burning as it's leaving the heads.

You probably have fouled the plugs pretty bad. They should be checked and probably be replaced before trying to start again. Don't ask me how I know all this. Depending on what size your carb is, I might be able to help you a little with jet and metering rod suggestions. I'm still playing around dialing mine in with an A/F analyzer to get it perfect. Hope that helps a little.
