Well, finally something went right. The car finally started. Not sure if either of these things helped, but the fuel filler cap was off and the right front of the car happened to be jacked up. If either of those things helped, my guess was the car being jacked up let gravity send the fuel to the left side or maybe it finally just primed itself.

Thanks for all your suggestions.
