1. Make sure the choke works. That's the door on top of the carb. Pumping the pedal a couple of times should help too.
2. LMC and the junkyards are all I ever have used.
3. No, the eldelbrock kit will not fit.

When my bronco wouldn't start except with gas in the carb, i thought it was the gasket too. got a new carb cause the old one was bad, changed the gasket, still didn't start. Turned out that my rubber fuel line from the tank was rotted.
Just something to double-check. you can always pull the line off the carb and crank it to see if you're getting fuel, just use a bucket or something so the fuel doesn't fly all over the engine bay.
LMC is kinda pricey, but it's worth it if you can't find the parts locally. Good service and good quality for what it is.
