I have a 66 chevy with a 327, it is all original. I parked it three years ago running fine, went to start it up and it will not stay running without injecting gas manuall into carb, drained gas and put new accelarator pump and float needels in and still nothing. pulled fuel line out of carb and can blow through it easyly, put the fuel line in a cup and fuel come out wile the truck is running with injected gas with a syringe, new fuel filter also. once the manually injected gas runs out truck dies. any help would be appreciated

You should have 4 pounds of pressure coming out of your fuel pump. Did you check for fuel pressure?
