Did you try any repair books at like autozone or pepboys? I think the wiring stuff is like in the back of the book.

my moms dipship boyfriend cut some wires when they were pulling the motor out...

IE: the neg wire from the starter and the power wire for the headlights / interior lights...so it tries to start now, but all it does is spit gas out of the carb...time to check the distributor position and valve settings...
