Drain the oil before you try to start the car again. If there is enough gas in the oil pan it can make a heck of a explosion.

Been there, done that! It took out the oil pan, timing cover, internal parts of the Holley carb, both valve covers and several gaskets not the least to mention a fire. The A/C oil breather on the cover almost imprinted in my head as it preceded the valve cover by a few milliseconds. Not a pretty sight.
