Pick yourself up a cheap electric fuel pump from Advance or Autozone. Hook it to one of your fuel lines and wire it live to your battery and stick a peice of fuel line into a gas can. Easy as can be.

I dont think you can siphon these cars. If I am not mistaken there is a safety screen or something in the fill tube, but if not you can use the previous mentioned method down the fill tube.

This isn't an engine tech question.

Usually, on LT1's, there is a small red wire with a black connector near the passenger side PCM location. Patch (with jumper) in 12+vdc from the batt (with Ign off) and this will drive the fuel pump. Usually you can disconnect at the fuel rail and run to a 5 gal can. Disconnebt alt 12vdc source when pump starts to scavenge air and fuel delivery runs out. B,
