I suspect your problem may be a partially plugged fuel Line. If this car sat around for years and gas had been left in the tank it went sour and moisture created rust. Blow air from the carburetor end of the fuel line back into the tank to see if the air gets there. You should also have a solid stream of fuel coming out the carburetor end of the fuel line with the tank valve open.
