Ok so, i just got an 82 fb with 66k miles on her... first night on the town my buddy and i went to see a movie (hp 7.2). and when we got out she wouldnt start...
And yes, i know im gonna get flamed to all hell for posting this.. but i did read all the FAQ stuff and cant recall anything specific

Whats happening:
I turn the key and dash lights come on, battery voltage meter is at half, it makes the "whirring" sound like its about to start up, but its not "firing" i guess....
Probly flodded, what do i do?

If it is flooded, follow standard unflooding procesures. Remove each leading plug, pour an ounce of oil into the holes, rotate engine by hand, repeat, reinstall plugs, start car.

If it still doesn't start, check the basics. Does it have fuel? Spark?

How do you rotate the engine by hand?

you can crank the engine over with the starter..sort of jog it.
Really what you can do is remove plugs,roll the engine over,and expel fuel.
then toss some oil in the spark plug holes,jog the engine about 2 turns and install the plugs again.
