Glad to hear that it's finally running. Took ya long enough.....
Why are you worried about the cat? It's not as if it's a real cat.
<grin>
Just out of curiosity, did you hook up the plumbing correctly?
Maybe you have the fuel line plugged into the overflows. Nuttin there to
restrict inflow of fuel.
I can supply a few pics if you need of the setup.
If you still can't figure it out, call Joe Curto at 718-762-7878 during
business hours. I'm sure he'll have some other options for you to try.

While this doesn't directly address your problem, I'd thought I'd pass it
on.
I have the same setup on my 79. While the carbs don't leek yet, I made a
heat shield out of duct material that extends under the carbs so that when
they start to leek, they won't drip on the exhaust.
