Any chance it is 180 degrees out of time? I did that once. It looked to be right on, took me a week to finally figure it out. Who would have thought I'd put a new cam in wrong?
Anyway, if you have fuel and you have spark, the two other big gotta have its are air and compression. If you know for sure the motor ran before it was pulled from the camaro, that is a help. Means some small thing is hooked up wrong, or not hooked up. Sitting here thinking, I am thinking I'd pull the valve covers and turn it over to see if all the valves seem to be opening and closing. Also you might want to try dropping the distributor from the 64 into it. That was not high intensity discharge, and the 64 wiring harness does not have the module plug that the 69 distributor needs. Good luck with it, and let us know when it runs and why it was reluctant.

your plugs are soaked with gas it will never start, take all the plugs out and keep your foot off the gas and crank it for awhile to get all the gas out of the cylinders and go buy some new plugs and try again, don't keep pumping the gas as your flooding it, if anything just floor it and keep it there while you are trying to start it, if it doesn't start after all this you better start checking the carb as the floats might be off or maybe one has a hole in it and is sunk in the bowl and is dumping gas like crazy into your engine, when you do get it started be sure to change the oil immediately as you will have a lot of gas in your oil.

the problem is you have to much fuel. you have it flooded real bad. take the plugs out and let it set for a few days then find out where all that gas is coming from first....like if the carb is leaking gas or maybe the fuel pump. then when you get all that done check the oil and make sure there's no gas in it or it'll burn the bearings up in the engine...then put new plugs in.
good luck

i own a repair shop,and it sounds like its getting to much gas,if it shooting it out of the spark plug hole it flooding and that will be enough to make it not start up,it only needs a fuel and air mix,not raw gas dumped in it,good luck hope this helps.

all vehicles that i have worked on require spark, fuel and air to fire properly..... since you know that you have spark and hoping it is enough that fixes that one. you know your getting air cause your still breathing so thats that problem... now its on to fuel... since your shooting fuel out the plug holes that raises the question of are you getting too much fuel to the cylinders and causing a foul out condition.. in order to check your timing to make sure its dead on it needs to run... i would suggest re running the valve train to see if intake valves are too tight. also check to see if your not running a carb that is too big for your application. if it is not then look for stuck float in the carb. too much fuel is a bad thing unless your running a pro mod funny car.

sounds like you are getting to much fuel, possible the float is stuck in the carb. have you been pumping the pedal alot? if so choke it and crank it over for till the raw fuel is out of the cylinders, don;t crank constantly, prolonged cranking takes life off of starters fast. re-tune your carb, and try again, as long as your timeing, spark plug gap, and fuel system are right, she should crank right up.

the older chevy motors with the fuel pump on the block like yours the fuel pump diaphragm leaks the fuel into the combustion chambers and not to the carb change the pump AND the oil.

with choke fully open and throttle plate closed, no gas should be coming from the venturi cluster at top of carb.

sounds like your fuel pump it pumping right through the carb into your cylinders. rebuild carb, check floats(they may be sinkers).be sure pump is matched to pressure needs.

WAY, WAY,WAY too much gas.
Fix your carburator.
And change your oil, it's now contaminated with gas.
