If that is a 1987 firebird that you are picturing there (one of your other posts mentioned you had an '87 bird), then that would mean that you have a 2.8L MPFI engine (this I can see).. If its an '87, then it would have mass air flow fuel management.. Where is your mass air flow sensor??
Is the SES light on??

It just past
Its just past that piece that you see on the left, it goes filter,elbow, then maf, then what you see in the picture.
Could be any number of things. I'd start with the basics and make sure you have good fuel pressure and spark. If both of those check out then start digging deeper.
