Thanks to those who responded and apologies for leaving out the vital info
that this is an '83 CGT with a 5 banger.

to continue the saga (with no N'sync thankfully). . .  I got everything
together and the car running.  I ran the car for around 5 minutes and there
is steam coming from the breather and the oil fill, but no exhaust coming
from the overflow tank which basically are good signs for now since the oil
probably still has H2O in it and needs to be changed.   There is still a good
bit of steam coming from the exhaust but that may also be full of moisture. .
.

I turned the car off to check some things after around 5 minutes then around
5 minutes later I tried to start it again and all it will do is turn over but
not start.  the fuel pump is still making noise and all the plug wires look
good.  Is it possible that steam/moisture could foul a plug or perhaps blow
one up?  Anyone have any thoughts,

Many TIA,
Matt Kramer
