Re: engine sitting for 8 yrs .
I picked up 3 suburbans for 300.00 last summer all were reasonable shape, all had sat for at least six years. None would run.
Little old lady swore they were driven up until the day her husband passed away.
Turns out that the little rubber hose in the fuel tank ( its about 2 inches ) long had turned to jelly.
Replaced the hose on the 89 and it fired right up.
Didn't try the other two , I was parting them out, but when I pulled the tank from the 90 it was the same, sticky jelly .
Just something to keep in mind if you can't get it to fire.
Good luck.
