I installed the replacement weber carbs which dont have return line for extra fuel. I smell gas while driving which suggest rich set up but again its cold outside and that might cause that. On my old chevy I always had to readjust the carb when the weather changed cold.
I will check the wires I never replace those.
Thanks

Try opening the throttle a little bit when the engine is warm. This won't add any extra gas but will give the engine a bit more air to mix with any unburned fuel. If you've been driving for a while let the car idle for a bit before you shut it off. This will let the engine cool a bit which may help at restart.
It sounds like it needs a bit of carb work. The extra fuel is supposed to return back to the tank at idle to prevent vapour lock which is also what you could be having problems with.
When the engine is hot the chokes won't come back on to any great extent.
