If that car has been sitting for a couple of years and is running rubber braided fuel hose, the rubber could be coming apart inside the hose and clogging things up.
Another thing I've seen when a car sits for a long while is the fuel pump diaphram gets weak as do accelerator pumps in the carbs and does not pump enough fuel when trying to start it via cranking it over...IMOHO get rid of the 2 carbs and get a single Holley or electronic EFI unit. BTW very nice car

I think you hit the nail on the head. I shined a light into the fuel tank and see a lot of black small bits in the fuel. I'm assuming its rubber.
With this being said I would have to assume that the fuel pump has some junk clogged in it also.
I think my solution is to replace the manifold (to accommodate a single 4 barrel Holley) and buy a new carb. Also I am going to consider replacing the fuel pump and all of the fuel lines.
And thank you very much by the way!
Now the question is if i should go ahead and go to EFI or replace all of these parts.
