Wouldn't a worn needle and seat cause this as well? I had issues with
this years ago in my '56 Chevy pickup.

If you're running a quadrajet, there is a small seal at the filter in
the
carb. It is meant to keep fuel to the carb when not running. With
age, it
tends to let the gas flow back to the tank and you have to pump a lot
to
get
fuel back to the engine.

That's interesting to hear about pumping the pedal. My 67 Malibu has
started doing the same thing in the last year after it sits for a few
days.
It takes about 15 pumps on the gas to get it started. I never have
any
running or restarting issues after that. It starts right up with no
pumping until it has sat for quite awhile.
