Engine Performance problem
1988 Pontiac Firebird V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Car has been sitting in garage for years, has not been started for years. After installing a new battery engine turns over very well will not start.

I can spray starting fluid into carb and engine will then start.

I have added 2 gallons of gas to tank.
