Default 1940 LaSalle Fuel Starved

1940 322 CI was running sweet when all of a sudden it coughed and died. I've determined that it wasn't getting any fuel so I purchased and installed a rebuilt fuel pump and "no joy".

Poured gas in the carb and she fired right up and dies when the gas is gone.

Disconnected the output line on the new pump, cranked it and no gas getting through the new fuel pump. Car has roughly half a tank so not out of gas.

Bought and installed an electric fuel pump (inline) bypassing the mechanical one. STILL no joy. It isn't getting gas to the carb.

Blew lp air into tank and fuel sprays out of the feel line from the tank. Blew back the other way as well to ensure no blockage.

Ideas?
