Carb Blues, Gonna Let It Go

Hey, guys. My brother and I were able to work on my car today. We put in a new battery, distributor cap, rotor button, ignition points, condensor and plugs. All that stuff was burned up to a crisp. The car now turns over very hard, tries to catch, but simply will not. I once again return to the carb as the culprit. Is there anything else I should check ignition wise before taking time to order another carb?

One more thing, I just went out and turned the car over a few times, noticing that there is thin black liquid just beneath the tailpipe. It appears to be a mixture of oil and water.
