I assume the engine was running fine the last time you used the car, so it wouldn't be something like a badly timed cam. It seems you're dumping a lot of unburned fuel through the exhaust valve and its burning in the header; hence the red heat. In other words, it's running w-a-a-y rich. Your spark plugs and exhaust tips should be all sooted up. I bet you don't need any choke at all on a cold start, either.

One other thing...after i turned the car off it started leaking gasoline again. All from the rear float chamber. I checked the float and made sure that it is working freely and not siezing or anything. HELP!!! What is going on? It doesn't leak gas when it is running or from the other float chamber.
You checked the float. Did you check the valve that the float operates? It might be stuck open. Easy to replace: get a new one in a carb rebuild kit from spitbits.com.
