If it turns over slow, it isn't getting enough volts/amps to the starter, or the starter is bad. First make sure the battery cables and posts on new battery are clean. Then check ground wire connections, and hot wire to starter is tight. Get it turning over right, then you can see if the fuel system needs attention.

Old engines are simple. If you have spark, then there is no gas. After all those years, the float bowl needle valve is probably stuck closed, allowing no fuel into the carb.
