My '76 did the same thing to me a while back. It turns out that the temp sensor
connector was corroded so bad that the computer was reading very high resistance
so it was dumping tons of fuel thru the injectors. The way I checked it initially was to
insert a small wire between the to clips in the connector itself. It was a little hard to
start but once it did, it ran continuously. I then cleaned up the connector (including the
tangs on the temp sensor) sprayed it with a little contacts cleaner, hooked it back up
and it has run good ever since.
good luck
