Will not start with out staring fluid

Thanks for all the help guys. Finally after way to long and three cans of starting fluid finally had a chance to go at the car.

Replaced the carb with a reman.(had a junk spare to core for it and still have a decent carb for a rebuild).

Cleaned and gapped the plugs and replaced the vaccuum advance line from carb to dissy. Runnning better than before.

One hitch, doesn't idle smoothly, kinda like I am running a lumpy cam. Could that be a timing issue?
I completely missed putting a plug in my Edelbrock Carb. It was in the plastic package and needed to be put in the back of the Carb where the Brake booster line could go. Just a thought.
