Check fuel pressure I chased this problem put on new fuel pump distributor battery rewire all switches bout went insane one of them finally fixed it then valve guide wore out replace heads then cam wore out fixed it then got a detached retina in eye done.for year best guess is fuel pressure I also found a tiny piece of crap in needle and seat would be fine then flood then run right been one hell of a year after 35 years away best of luck
