fuel pump
i pulled my dipstick and it smells like gas. Im thinking it my fuel pump leaking into my crankcase and it flooded it out and thats what caused my car to stall and not start again. Does this sound right?

im gonna change out the pump tommorow because the carb i have on the car is new and i dont think its that because when i had it running it was running real good. The car was sitting for 4 years with gas in it before i got it so im pretty sure the pump needs replaced.

X2 on the old gas.
If there was any gas in the carb over those 4 years, it could have leaked down through the intake, heads and rings into the oil Very unlikely, I know). Have you had the car running before you smelled gas in the oil?

yes that has happened to me a couple different times. where did the pop come from? if it came from the carb i would say timing. if it came from the tail pipe id say your carb is still flooding. thats just from what happened to me. the carb would flood filling up the cylinder out an open exhaust valve and load up in the muffler. its like shutting your car off letting it coast and starting it up again. you get a loud bang and everyone ducks.

it not from the exhaust, it was up in the engine area, i didnt see exactly where it came from because i was in the car. I just hope nothing is messed up. Im thinking its the timing chain now, how it just died on me and i know for sure its getting gas and spark.

The first thing that you have to do is get that gas/oil out of the crank case!!!!!
I ended up buying a 340 motor for vary cheap becouse it was Quote" Posesed"!!!!
the valve covers blow compleatly off!!!!! the valve cover bolts were still in the head.......but nothing ELSE.
That 340, was a vergine and is now the .020 bored 340 in my Cuda for the past 11 years
You need to get ride of that gas in your oil now!!!!! then try and get it to start.
If the gas has ran down the piston,and washed all the oil of the rings(carb leaking fuel...gas)then there vary well could NOT be enough compression to start................as has already been mentanded, squirt some oil thru the spart plug hole and it will probably start.
as far as the fuel pump being the problem......there is a drilled hole behind the diaphram, so if it goes bad, it runs down the out side of the block..........If this hole didn't get drilled or is plugged with grease or something........it will go into the crank case.
