When you say it won't crank do you mean the engine won't turn over or it just won't start and just cranks? Take your battery and have it tested. I keep a trickle charger on my car alot of the time and I bet alot of others do as well.
I took the air filter off and try to crank it but I don't think it's getting gas. However if I pore a small amount of gas directly into the carburetor it cranks right up and runs fine.
Pumping the gas peddle should accomplish the same thing i'm guessing you have done that?
What kind of gas are you pouring into the carb? Is it the same fuel thats in the tank?
I cleaned the fuel filter (it was a mess) cleaned the distributed cap & sprayed carburetor cleaner in both carbs.
Unfortunately the car does not have a fuel pressure gauge. This car sat for about 2 years before I purchased it.
Have a regulator and fuel pressure guage installed if you can't do it yourself.
Any advice? Is this a bad fuel pump?? Spark plugs?? Perhaps this car was not built for street gas??
Pull a fuel line and see if you have pressure. If you do then you need to make sure its the correct amount. Pull a plug and check the gap i'm thinking it should be around .035.
Would love some help.

Not a whole lot of help but this should be pretty easy to get figured out. Sounds to me its just a little cold blooded. Once you get it started does it not hard start after that until you let it sit again for a while?
