Need help

Ok i had a bad fuel pump changed that and all new fuel lines. Now car started and ran with choke for about 2 min and i nocked choke off. Now since i did that car will not fire up all spark plugs, cap, roder, and points look fire. Coil is brand new also. Could it possibly be a miss tune due to lack of fuel and all from bad pump for yrs.

Ok so you can see the bowls run to empty? Possibly stuck floats, timing got thrown off, maybe even something got picked up from a dirty tank and only gets enough fuel when it's revving and pushing more fuel. Check air fuel ratio also. Just Continue that check list
