Since you can't use the timing pin to locate TDC due to using a Model B front cover, try this - Make sure you are using TDC on the compression stroke, not the exhaust stroke when you follow Les' instructions.
Take the spark plug out of the hole and put your thumb over the hole to feel for compression as the piston comes up. You can also see the piston through the spark plug hole with a flashlight.

I agree with you, Dan, if you over-choke the carb gas pours out of it.
Did we ever learn why he would have an incorrect timing gear cover on the car?
