Last one to post in this thread wins!

I got myself a 73 Valiant with a slant 6 that will only start if you put gas down the carb. I rebuilt the 2 barrel Carter and really didn't need it but it still won't start without putting some gas down the carb. Checked to see if it was putting fuel down while pumping on the throttle and can't see any fuel going in.
Checked the compression on the cylinders and the lowest is 130 and the most is 145. Fuel pump seems to be working and it will stay running after I put some gas in the throat.
SOOO! all you gear heads what am I missing here?
