Startup with new carb, new fuel filter?

What shape is the fuel supply system, or do ya know? Rotted connector hoses from the tank, and inlet to the pump? How's the pump?

Last I checked, everything was fine. I started it up about 3 months ago on the old carb, but the old carb had some warpage on the body that wasn't so good.

Maybe the rebuilt has a stuck needle/ seat? Pull the fuel line off the carb, crank the engine, and see if you have fuel (into a can/ bottle, bucket, of course.) But it should at LEAST fire with starter fluid, was the car running previously? Have you checked for a good spark

Didn't check these things, but I'll give it a shot.

AND how are you cranking the engine? IF you have a stock Mopar ignition, the spark is NOwhere nearly as good when jumpering the start relay as if you are using the KEY, because the resistor bypass circuit is in the key.

Yeah was starting it via the relay. I should try starting it with the key. Thanks for the ideas, I'm going to give them a shot.
