Dellorto questions *Now with pics! Options

I am bringing back a car which has been sitting under a cover in a garage for 12 years.

Facts:

*Car has not been started for 12 years.
*Car started last week with gas poured down the carbs and ran for a few seconds.
*Replaced today what looks like a stock FI pump with a carburetor pressure rated pump.

*Car has new gas.
*New fuel pump is working and carbs are getting fuel pressure.


Looking down the barrels of the carbs, when the throttle is hit, there is "no" gas being shot into any of the 4 carb throats.


If any of you guys are familiar with Dell's (DLRA 45's)

Is there anything I can try to get the carbs to squirt some gas, outside of pulling the carbs and rebuilding them? (I know they are probably gummed up after 12 years)

Can I access the floats or is there a particular area which would most likely be blocked on both carbs which would prevent fuel from flowing through the carbs?

I am trying to get them sorted with whatever settings/sync they were parked with since I have no experience setting them back up and don't have any of the airflow meters yet, have blown my cash wad so far getting to where I am at on the car this far.

Thanks if you have any suggestions.

Thanks fellas.

I ordered the kits last week from CB and they got here Tuesday.

I just had a $10 bet with my 18 yo little brother I would have the car running by Saturday and would be sending him video to prove it. Gonna lose that one I guess!

Been working like mad for days.

That reminds me of how I got my first car. My Dad and uncles were sitting in the backyard at a family get-together. They were downing a few beers and my Dad pointed to his 63 Chev Impala sitting next to the garage. It had quit running the previous week at the stop sign at the end of our street. My Dad said, "if you can get that thing running, you can have it". My uncles who owned gas stations and an insurance wrecking yard smiled and winked at me. Monday when I got home from school my uncle was waiting with his tow truck and one of those starting motors that was gas engine driven. We fired it up first twist. Turns out it had a broken motor mount and when my Dad was pulling away from the stop sign it torqued up into the firewall and cracked the distributor. It was a rainy day so a little water shut it down. My Dad kept to his word and so I got my first car for $37 in parts and a little labor... Got my first speeding ticket the next week!
