I do see gas squirting straight down the throat of the carb.

Is this still possible, or does the gas squirting from the accelerator pump 
nozzle rule out a fuel deliver problem?

Also, I checked for a vacuum leak as Russ advised on his next post.  I ran 
the engine with the aircleaner off, and observed the carbs as I revved the 
engine.  The choke flap was completely closed on the left side carb at idle, 
but when I revved the engine, it opened, and I heard the sucking sound, so 
it seems that there is some vacuum there.  Is this a sufficient test, or 
should I investigate the vacuum leak angle further?

Some additional info - this is a 68 notchback from Germany.  I believe the 
carbs are stock.  The writing on the side of the carbs says:

Solex 32PDSIT-2 (left side) and
Solex 32PDSIT-3 (right side)
