1949 Chrysler windsor flathead 6 won’t start

Hey guys I’m new on here and mainly looking for advice and suggestions. So i have a 1949 Chrysler windsor flathead 6 and I recently blew a head gasket. So I replaced the head gasket and just for the heck of it I replaced spark plugs and also radiator to. Now that i have put everything back together the car won’t start and spits out a loud sound from carburetor. Not sure as to why. Hopefully i can get some sort of help.

Welcome.

This sounds like ignition timing. The work you did didn't require distributor removal but still it needs to be set advanced to start, from your description.
