An easier "test" is to go out five minutes early in the morning, after the car's sat idle over night. Take off the air cleaner, boost yourself atop the engine so that you can see down the primary venturi's and pump the throttle with your hand to see if you get a pair of strong squirts of fuel. I'll venture a guess that there will be none.

As for the hose from the pump into a bowl, I'd be concerned that you've changed the hydraulics of the system, opening up the pump suction to atmosphere vs the small amount of suction head on the pump from the tank, and that it will almost certainly drip fuel due to the difference in head from the line, alone, without even considering the fuel in the bowl. With the line in place, if the fuel drains back from the engine, emptying the fuel line, it has to over come the system pressure back to the tank. My guess it leaky plugs in the bottom of the float bowl, but then I may be all wet, too. Given the appearance of that carb it hasn't had any attention for a long, long time....
