273 Engine will not start - Ideas?

So I had my buddy here today to help me, and tried starting fluid etc. The pump rod pushes ample amount of fuel into the carb, however didn't try manually trickling gas in as we cranked. May try that next time. I'm using non-ethanol gas. We needed to pull the Barracuda out of the garage so that we could work on my 2019 300 doing and engine replacement - turns out they don't like going through big puddles of water. Ended up having to push the Barracuda outside in order to get the 300 into the garage. :(
