Keep it simple. Like others suggested, replace spark plugs, confirm you have spark from the distributor to the plugs. run a temporary rubber fuel line from inlet of fuel pump to a one gallon can of fresh gas. start the motor.

its a chevy small block, its going to run. might smoke some but it will run.

If no knocking from the engine. continue on with the complete flush/tuneup/rubber parts replacement.

Im going thru this now with my 70 c/10. Fix for two weeks, drive for 4 days, fix for two weeks, drive for 3 days. I think im winning the battle.
