Ford 94 carb and vapor lock

Trying to track down a vacuum leak, would a small tear in float bowl gasket cause no flow? I can force air into tank fill and gas flows good into a jar, hook up to sediment bowl and nothing. I'm in process of changing vacuum advance; it looks like someone tried to turn the non-turning nut where line connects and bent it at an angle and also replacing gasket on sediment bowl. I have had to force air prime before, but she has always primed in the past.


Thanks, Greg
