Thanks for that! I got it running, lots of cracking lines open and pouring Seafoam into the holes where the banjo bolts connect the fuel lines to distributor. I also sprayed carb cleaner directly into it. It eventually got unstuck and the car started. It ran like crap for a while but eventually the clean gas with Seafoam added cleaned the digestive tract out and it now purrs like a kitten.

I don’t have a good “first start” video because it was a lot of cranking and barely running, stalling, etc. There was 21 year old gas/varnish in the entire system. I left it idling once it would stay running and it smoothed out after a while. Tomorrow it gets a new air filter and fuel filter plus plugs and wires, then an oil change and filter. The oil and filter are from 1995 and the oil looks perfect, btw.
