Hey guys heres a little update on the car. It has spark, its getting fuel but still won't start. Engine will "pop" ever once a while but wont fire up. I went to clean out the gas tank so i could put fresh fuel in it...RUST... I found chunks of rust in the gas tank. Im thinking everything is clogged up. What should i go about doing. Wost comes to worst i will replace all my fuel lines and fuel filter/pump. Any Suggestions? By the way how to i check to make sure my fuel injectors are working?

I bet the injectors are full of rust too. You will need to clean everything! Fuel lines can be flushed but you may want to replace the rubber bits. Fuel pump now has rust in it too.

You may be able to take the tank to a radiator shop and get it boiled/cleaned.

I run my fuel filter before the pump to keep the junk out. But nothing on my car is factory stock...
