inherited 68 cuda, starting issues

I did get the new battery and fresh gas in and it is a lot happier now. Starts and tried but won't sit and run/idle quite yet.

That's because the problem is a dirty carb and lines from sitting and always was (after you found the crank wire off).
(The very first thing that needs to be done if they don't fire up and stay running but seem to have spark and fuel to the carb)
Lots of times they don't even have to have a rebuild, but just opened rinsed and the circuits blown out.
