So, when I was changing the fuel filter the fuel that spilled out during the process was horrific smelling. It stank the whole garage up, God knows how long this has been stagnant in the tank, the worst part is that there was plenty of it, over a half tank.

Watched a few videos and got a plan together. I disconnected the incoming fuel line to the rail, purchased some heater hose, slipped it over the fuel line and routed it under the fender liner into the Camaro's fuel jug. I jumped the fuse block and the pump drained the tank. This stuff is so nasty, it burned my eyes. While I don't think this is my misfire culprit, its not helping.

After that I switched over to the intake side of things. I had noticed when I removed the intake elbow that the throttle body was absolutely disgusting. Again, this isn't helping. I removed the throttle body for cleaning, ended up cutting every hose going to it. They're crispy. I'm going to do the coolant bypass mod and probably get a cheapo catch can to help prevent that from happening again.

A few more rounds of parts, some more cleaning, fresh fuel and we'll try and fire her up again to see where we stand.
