You are wise to take this whole process of reviving the car in baby steps and keeping this thread going with your progress. Shoot, you won't even need a manual (although you should get one or two) with all the help you will receive here. And, with each step, if you run into problems, chances are you will find out what to do next right here. With the right supplies and. tools and procedures, you will have the car running by Sunday.
BTW, you can look into and siphon out the gas by removing the fuel level sending unit on top of the tank where the plug attaches. You can even vaccuum out the last of the gas and debris IF you use a venturi vac and NOT a shop vac. You'll just blow up the shop vac and start a fire. Speaking of fires, get an extinguisher and have it handy at all times on ork like this and then carry it with you. There is a non toxic, clean unit called Fireade.
You can blow out lines and run solvent (safer) thru them if both ends are disconnected. Don't use 100 lbs of air. 40 is enough. And, as someone probably already said, remove the plugs, look them over for signs of how the car was running last, clean them fr the initial start up and clearing out of the oil, etc., and then replace them with new. Old spark plug wires may not be working well. You will know if you run the car at night in the dark.
There's a lot more, keep reading and welcome to 911 ownership (I hope).
