I've used a 1 gallon can with a 3/8" copper tube soldered at the bottom and
3/8" id flexible hose to run directly (gravity feed) to the fuel inlet at
the carb. Over the years it has hobbled me home from malfunctioning fuel
pumps and to move cars like you described.

Getting ready to pull the small block that came in my '64 when I purchased
it a few months ago. �I'm going for a BB swap and want to start
cleaning/painting/prepping the engine bay for the 396.
Before I pull it, I want to see if the motor will start. �Previous owner
claimed it would, but it had no carb, so I couldn't prove otherwise.
Besides, I knew I was going to pull it �and didn't care if it ran or not.
I've since put a 2bbl carb on that I had sitting around the garage.
Well, now I'm curious to see if it will run, and want to get some advice
from the List regarding hooking up a fuel source to the motor to feed it
some juice. �The fuel tank is out of the car and being dipped, and the fuel
line from the fuel pump to the gas tank is a rusty mess.
Can I just run a rubber line to the fuel pump inlet from a 2 gallon jerry
can to test start the motor? �How stupid would this be?
Thanks,
Kurt
