Default HELPPP!!!

i have a 1989 camaro rs 2.8l v6 and ive got some problems

the other day i went to go drive it and it wouldnt start so i figured i didnt have any fuel in it cuz the gauge is broke and i never really drive it so i fueled it up with like 2-3 gallons of gas and went to start it and the battery was low so i put it on a charge and when i went to go start it all it did was turn over and turn over and wouldnt start so i have no clue what the problem is any suggestions of what i should do?

If your fuel lines did go empty then you may have to prime the system again. You may have to cycle the ign. key several times to get it pumped up again. Did you check for spark first? Can you hear the fuel pump priming up on key on position?

Since you confirmed you have a nice big fat spark all the way to the spark plug and you can hear your fuel pump priming then I'd recommend you check the fuel pressure reading. Even though you can hear the pump it may not be producing the proper pressure at the fuel rail. Can you get a fuel pressure test gauge? If so, the test port is just behind the upper intake plenum.
