Please help, car wont stay runnin'!

Please Help!!! undefinedJust picked up this nice '80 sa no rust and its acting a little wierd. The car will start on starting fluid and run a little on its own. The previous owner said it was the jets and that he thought that they might just need to be blown out (no drug pun intended). Can someone help me out? I really appreciate it, the motors got great comp and spark, I just need help on this carb thing!! I ll try and check out if they're spraying ( the jets) any fuel at all, just have to fing a helper

Start with a new fuel filter and a can of Seafoam in the tank. If this doesn't help, check the fuel pump and do a fuel flow test. If flow is good, rebuild the carb.
