SPG running rough

Hey all, took my '86 SPG out of winter storage a few weeks back, she fired right up and purred like a kitten, it had a little over 1/2 tank of gas in it, I had put some stabil in it when it was parked. So I drove it around &burned the fuel in it, &refilled it...withtin a day or so it started running VERY rough, could barely keep it running, it was chugging and smoking (black, heavy fuel smell). I installed a new fuel filter, plugs, wires, cap &rotor, cleaned the air filter &added some Chevron Techron, I cleaned out the AMM. The plugs are NGK's, Magnacore wires, Bosch cap &rotor. It is still running the same. It will start right up and idle perfect for about 5 seconds, then the rough idle &smoke starts. What gives? any ideas to point me the right way would be great!
Thanks!
