Carb needs to be primed for car to start

Hey guys, engine is a '64 383, 2 bbl, stock carb (I believe Holley? Didn't look too close but maybe should have).

I filled the float bowl with gas, then ran a rubber line to a jerry can to figure out any idling issues the car may have had.

Why were you doing this? Has this been sitting for a while? Does the float bowl stay full while running? Carb circuits need a proper fuel bowl level to work correctly.
