1967 Plymouth Fury Starting my Car; thats been sitting on a

Engine Mechanical problem
1967 Plymouth Fury 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic alot miles

My 1967 plymouth fury III has been sitting on the hill too long, and I went out to start it up, and well, it didn't.
I was told you could start a car that won't start by pouring a shot full of gasoline into the carburetor, and starting your car. Does this actually work? How would I go about doing this? I heard its because the engine loses pressure over time by sitting on a hill. Could use any help, thanks.
