Yeah I have all of those except the 6am box. I'm saving up for it right now lol
Also adding a short ram intake will improve performance.

forgive my noobness but the short ram is simply the high flow filter directly on the t.b. right?

89 LXi FI sat 8 years. New fuel, injector cleaner additive, new battery starts on second rotation. I go thru all the systems, brakes, new oil/filter, new tranny fluid, new air cleaner runs great for 2 weeks. Then starts hard, cranks for 20 seconds, then runs fine, idles fine. I put in new plugs, old ones not that bad, no change. Not consistent. Sometimes starts on second turn, sometimes hard. What the .........? Any Ideas?

i would look into a diagnostic tree for diagnosing your distributor. they can do some funky stuff if they arent happy. some other things to check could be fuel filter, coolant temp sensor, or coil....it sounds to me like an intermittent electrical issue so you could also check the crank position sensor

I would start with the fuel filter - your driving it around for a couple of weeks after having sat for so long probably broke loose sediment and now it is clogging the filter up. I don't know if there is a "sock" on the end of the fuel pump in the tank...if there is, that is a likely culprit as well.
