There are two basic ways to do this. The first one, turn the engine over with the starter motor untill the air lock goes away. Second, if this does not work you may have to bleed the fuel system, usually at the carburetor. With sufficient fuel in the gas tank and the fuel pump in good shape, the block should go away using bleeding and turning over the engine. In rare cases of mechanical obstruction the carburetor has to be removed and compressed air forced through the fuel lines.
Vapor lock is caused when the fuel inside the fuel line of a carburated engine boils. In the absence of oxygen, the fuel will boil and the pressure of the vaporized fuel will push against the rest of the fuel, back toward the gas tank. It isn't a dangerous condition, it just keeps the engine from running. Once the fuel pump is trying to pump air, there will be no fuel pumped into the carburater. That is the definition of true vapor lock, and if that's what you have you need to insulate the fuel line from the heat of the exhaust line. The reality of it is, there was very little true vapor lock in any vehicle manufactured in the last half of the 1900's. usually there was a problem with the fuel pump. A pinhole in the diaphragm of the fuel pump would allow air in and the pump wouldn't be able to pull gasoline in. There are two options: 1. Replace the fuel pump. 2. Bypass the fuel pump and install an electric fuel pump.

Your anti-lock brake system has a failing or failed component in it. Usually this is rather expensive to fix.
You replaced the ignition lock, and it will not shift out of park? If that is the situation, it sounds like the column is out of sync. More details are required to give a solid answer. A more common issue with these is the actuator rod in the column breaks. If you replaced the lock because it was turning hard and wasnt always cranking when turned, this may be your problem instead of the lock.
