Question Ford Bronco can't satart

I have a Ford Bronco 1985 4x4 Full Size,
Motor = 351 Windsor automatic with carburator.

Last winter was very hard to start the motor each time I needed to do it so.
I had to pump 3 or 4 times the gas pedal in order to get it running, then six times, then 10, 12... in February I had to
pump several times (more than 20) the pedal before to start the motor, sometimes with a explosive sound, shoot gun alike.
Time after, I needed to put a little of gasoline into the carburator, I could start 3 or 4 times this way. Now I can't do it in any way.

I put fresh gasoline, oil, spark plugs.
A friend advised me to check the spark plugs cables, I did it but I don't know how much spark is supposed to see each time somebody turns the switch on... I could see just one little single spark... Is that enough?
I don't know, so I decided to try the way I know best when I test my audio cables continuity.
When I use continuity I can't hear a sound in the pro. But when I try with ohmes I get a .823 and .862 reading. Is that ok?
Anyway, whay could be the problem? or waht should I do now?

Thanks in advance.

Not Moving!

The first thing is to make sure you are getting fuel in the carburetor and the carburetor is functioning properly. After that, my next suspect is a coil that is not functioning right. You should get 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch fat blue spark to the plug or block.

Thanks for your respnse, from waht you say I'm going to try the coil first, then the gasoline pump, and then the carburator
(when I read your posting I had the idea to include the gasoline pump).
