I wish I had taken a video of the car before we started working on it. It was turning over, but it wouldn't fire. First thing we did was try to siphon out the old gas before we even attempted to get it up and running. After several different methods that weren't working we finally realized that the gas tank was bone dry. So, I ran out and got gas and some Sta-bil. I was told that these older cars don't handle the ethanol in our fuel as well as the newer ones, so you need to use Sta-bil when you fill up. I had a little more hope for the car since now it had gas, but nope...still nothing. So a friend came over and we poured a little gas straight into the carb, and low and behold it cranked right up. So what we learned was that the carb wasn't getting gas. So the next morning we changed the fuel pump. That was what it needed.
