Default Starting after long time-Help

I just bought an 84 and I am trying to start it. I am pretty sure it is not getting any gas. It cranks and tries to start, then I put some gas in the intake and it starts firing and stops.
I am thinking fuel pump, or bad injectors.
This is my first project car, usually paid people, now I am going to do the work myself.

Any ideas or suggestions? What should I do first? :confused: :(
