Good afternoon...Don is right on the ball...He always is. One other thing to do is to use a small gallon or two can for fuel and feed it direct to the carburetor. Old gas is hard to start an engine with, and it can leave deposits that will damage an otherwise serviceable engine...I have seen old gas cause all the valves to stick after the engine runs with the stuff and then is shut down...and after a day or two will not run.
Thank you Ernie for your kind words. Not sure I'm always right but it's nice to hear anyway!
On old, bad fuel, I am one of those who had a 327 5-main get totally stuck by running it on old fuel that built up so much on the valve stems that one even bent trying to get it out! The engine would not turn over at all. You definitely need to use clean fuel from an external source until you get the car's own tank and fuel pump sorted out, making sure to check the steel lines for rust and thin areas and to replace the rubber hose to the fuel pump no matter how pliable it seems.
