The head is getting warm and the plugs are kinda dry. It has plenty of turning power with the 12v upgrade. Right now I'm leaning that the carb is not feeding the right fuel flow or the coil is not powerful enough. Any help will be great.

You did a lot of changes to this car! The one that stands out is ignition changes. The car is spitting back. head is warm, which to me converts to the engine is really out of time. Get # 1 piston at the top on compression stroke. There are plenty of posts on how to accomplish. Then assure your distributor is set up to fire on #1 and that the distributor wires (brass flat wires) are going to the right spark plugs. Once that is complete and you are sure you have the engine timed right, then do the starting thing again. Hope this helps
