You can break the fuel fitting after the pump and vapor cannister at the carb. Crank car and see if you get fuel out of line. Even measure pressure if you have a gauge. If not some thing amiss and work your way back to the pump.

But it can take a long time to prime the carb(s) and line when the car sits and the fuel evaporates.

Fuel pick up in the tank with the sock is what I should had said. What my car is doing is not normal. It did not do this prior to the resto and the fuel vapor canister. I did re use the fuel pick up and should had changed it.

I did take the fuel line off the carb after cranking if for a long time and it was bone dry. Did the same with the line off the carb and had the line in a bottle...no fuel. Did not crank real long though. Since the fuel gauge is not 100% correct might as well change out the gauge sending/pick up with a new sock and see if that fixes it
