Part 2; What do we have?

The next step after bringing the car home was to evaluate what exactly we had just bought. The firebird had not run in over a year and the previous owners destroyed the steering column trying to find the reason why the car would not start. They suspected the cars security system. We started by hooking up a battery and could not get the engine to crank or get the fuel pump to run. In the process of determining if we had power to the starter or not, we pulled the terminal off of the solenoid and figured it was time to replace the starter. After replacing the starter the engine would crank, but the fuel pump still did not turn on. Since the car had been sitting for so long, we suspected it had bad fuel in it. After removal our suspicions were confirmed, bad fuel. Luckily we had scavenged a tank from a friend who converted his car from a TPI to a carburetor which also had a fuel pump in it. After replacing the tank, we cleaned the lines out and added fuel. Now the engine cranks and the fuel pump runs, we also have spark and compression, but it seems the injectors need to be cleaned, because it will not run on its own. We also removed the majority of the interior at this point. We'll see if we can sell any of the interior parts to recoupe some cost.
