Sounds like choke not even hooked up, could be jets, timing, ignition not firing, might not have grounded making enough contact, did you change original wiring of car and go simple with using a carb or up leave all those mid 80s luxury upgrades hooked up and just unhook what not needed! If so sensor killing you soon as she’s taking a deep breath
