Rick,

Double check your firing order-crossed leads?
Use your timing light ( inductive pickup ) on each lead to ensure you have spark at all eight.
Partially cover each venturi one at a time with your hand and listen for the engine note to 'pick up'- the stronger signal from partial choke will draw extra fuel in.
Since each carb bowl serves 2 cyls then it shouldnt be fuel level but could be a blocked jet/passage etc.
Basics first- Comp test and /or Leakdown.
