After cranking the engine, then looking down the throat of the carb, there should NOT be any gas flowing or squirting. If that were so then when the car was just sitting gas would flow until the tank is empty.
Gas should only squirt when the gas pedal is depressed quickly either when running or not. That is from the accelerator pump circuit.

May have washed down cylinder walls with gasoline and lost much compression in the many failed attempts to start the engine.

Fred I think you misunderstood me, I said " if you look down into the Carb. and go full open with the key off and choke wide open", or maybe I wasn't clear. Go full open same as pushing the gas pedal down, or working the linkage at the carb. If you see gas squirt out than that would mean the carb still had plenty of gas and wasn't being starved of gas. So sorry if I wasn't clear enough, it's not that easy to help out when a lot of the time you know what your looking at and trying to tell somebody else what to look you.
Also I know there are times when things get miss quoted. Thanks for keeping me on the right track. Also is the choke fully close, using the switch on the carb to turn the engine over there are two positions to look for first is just pushing on the pedal or linkage just far enough to crank the engine over should keep the choke closed allowing more gas to be pulled in (for a richer mix), second is with the pedal to the floor or the linkage to the stop opens the choke ( this is a case where an engine is flooded and you don't need that rich of a mixture). I hope this helps. Because it sounds like your on the edge of getting this car running. Wes

VancouverCanuck, Have you got it running? It sounds like your on the verge of getting it started. As you crank is the choke closed? It just sounds like to me it is not getting enough gas.
Well good luck! Wes
