Are you sure its getting gas?
Have you cracked open the door and looked inside while you press the throttle lever to see if the primaries or secondaries are actually squirting gas?
When carb cars sit for awhile they usually dont have the pressure to push gas through the system to fill up the fuel bowl.
If you see no gas squirting, then get an empty can and get some gas into it. Open up the secondaries and pour a good swig directly into the carb.
Now when you go to start it and the engine chugs along and dies, that means it burned whatever you put in and ran out of gas. Pour some more gas into the engine and pump it while you are starting it up. After awhile, you might have to really floor it but give the above the try first.

If so, then it's spark. Fuel is REALLY easy. As long as you can see it, the car should at least try to start. It'd chug and spurt and run for a few seconds then die (if there's a problem). But if it won't catch at all, it's spark. |
