Here is a quick method i have always done when starting up a car i just got.
Take the inlet of the fuel pump, and stick it in a gas can. See what you get, that eliminates the entire rest of the fuel system from the problem.
Prime the carb if you can (if possible, pour by a cup fuel into the carb's bowls prior to cranking). Or use a cheapo spray bottle with fuel to help get things going (dont use starting fluid).
If you get it started and all runs fine with the gas can, then hook up the rest of the fuel system again. Then you atleast know it is from there, back. It doesnt hurt to jack the back of the car up to help out the mechanical pump get primed
it is possible you have a plugged up sender (not a huge deal on an abody),
it is possible you have a kinked line,
also could be a cracked or loose rubber line that is allowing the pump to suck air rather than fuel
could be a hole in a hardline.
Start with checking the rubber hoses, if they are hard and old. Replace them, with new clamps and make sure they are snugged up well. (if the rubber by the sender is being replaced, go ahead and pull the sender to check it). Make sure you have minimal fuel in the tank!
My suggestion right now,
1) Run it with a fuel can
-If it runs well, post up and start checking the rest
-If not, then you're looking at likely a pump
