The Spawn of Satan complicates things..........I check my 79 by leaving the float bowls off and turning
petcock on, rags underneath to see if I have flow.  No vacuum to Satan blows that method.

You could get a plastic ketchup bottle, like they have in a diner, the refillable one with a kind of nozzle
on top and get around Satan that way.  If you have the bowl on4 off, and squeeze some petrol in the
Fuel line that is disconnected from the petcock, and show fuel flowin into the carb and over the hanging
floats, maybe check the small vent brass overflow tube that sticks up from the bottom of the bowl.
And the vinyl tubes that hook to the bottom of the bowl.  
Might have a kind of air lock when you install the bowl, nowhere for the air to go to let the fuel come in.
