My 1976 Ford Gran Torino won't idle?

When I put gas in the float bowl it will idle for like 10 sec but it won't stay running unless I give it throttle

Due to limited carb knowledge, I'd like to link you to this video which may help you out.

Could be a weak fuel pump, leaking needle & seat, or could be trash in the idle circuit. Could be other things but this will be a good start of elimination processes for you.
