Let's try this again. Guys here have been extremely helpful. Full disclosure, I'm new and learning as I go. Ive now replaced the carb and now replaced the mechanical fuel pump on my 56 Cameo. Took a while, but fuel is finally starting to reach the filter, but doesnt seem like its making it to the carb yet. Being able to see the fuel has been a big help. I can get it to momentarily start by priming the carb (starter fluid or somw gas), but seems as if fuel is still not getting in. Not sure exactly what to look for now, just hoping the photos and video will help with your suggestions. Fuel seems to be coming from lower bowl, but I think its the fuel Im adding to prime, but not sure. Thanks in advance for your help Here's the video. Hope it helps.

put a can under the fuel pump, disconnect the hose from the inlet end of the pump, see if fuel pours out (it should). Catch the fuel in the can, of course. If that is not the case, then it's not getting from the tank to the pump.
Old fuel line from the tank to the pump can affect your fuel pump performance, it will draw air instead of fuel.
this has alot of ideas. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/bad-fuel-pump.1145101/#post-13020895
Check the section of rubber line under the truck that connects the hard line from the tank to the hard line running to the fuel pump for cracks. Also in that first picture the clip is missing that holds the accelerator pump linkage in place on the top lever.
