Mine does the same thing it chokes my wife burns her eyes and half the neighberhood!, i just got 5x14 inj and a timimg spacer and put them on at the same time. I was blaming it on the injectors but i guess thats the timing spacers fault? Maybe Ill remove the spacer.

having the grid heaters unhooked could be a problem, check for power at the KSB with a test light. Clip the light to the KSB and stick it on the NEG side of the battery, when the key is turned to "run" position, you should have power.

I believe the KSB is 12 volt, and it can be 'straight-wired" but leaving it like that is not a good idea. "The increase in fuel pressure can possibly crack the pump case" is what has been posted here in the past when this has come up.
