Ouch that's alot lol. Well as long as it's not too old it should be fine. One of my buddy's cars sat for 5 years with a half tank and when we started it up for the first time it ran with no problems whatsoever. As long as your getting fuel pressure and have no leaks you should be good. If there is a leak it might not start because there isn't enough pressure at the fuel rail, and that would probably be what's causing your gas smell. Oh btw check your fuel pressure regulator and for kinked lines. Im just trying to throw down everything I know, we just learned fuel systems in my auto class so it's kinda fresh in my mind 🙂.
Thanks for the info and I can't see any gas leaking anywhere but I guess I should still test the fuel pressure and when I test it what should it be at?
no i havent checked it yet im getting the fuel pressure guage tomorrow but i did find something on the distributor that im not sure if im supposed to hook something up to it or what?
then it connects to wires on the inside
then it connects to wires on the inside
I think I figured out why it wouldn't start on the end of my injector rail where the gas line plugs in is broken off and it's just pouring the gas out do I have to buy a whole new rail or is there a fitting that just goes on the end?

do you have a picture?
edit: found a pic of a 1990 351w fuel rail and i think you might have to get a new one but idk im not very knowledgeable on fords
the pic:
I can't really et the great of a picture because the lines go to the top of the transmission but I'll try tomorrow I'm hoping that I can just get that piece because if not I'm going to have to pull my intake off to get it off which I might have to to replace that piece anyways
