Re: 455 OLDS WILL NOT START Q-jet
Pull the base off and check the wells for the primarys, these are notorious for leaking down over time. A little epoxy will do the trick

X2 what Chuck said. I would also check to be sure that the fuel lines from the pump to the fuel tank are in good shape. Rusted-thru, cracked or a leaking line could cause similar problems.

Re: 455 OLDS WILL NOT START Q-jet
Most of the Q-jet rebuild kits come with a two-part epoxy and plugs to replace the factory main well plugs which, as Chuck mentioned, are notorious for loosening over the years and causing just the problem your friend is experiencing.
