Unhappy HELP.... Flooding

Hello, my 89 TII recently stopped starting....
After reading the forum i've found this website that has the unflooding procedure

http://www.rx7.com/techarticles_unfloodFC.html

However, i've done the simple unflooding process and my car is still outside, sitting in the cold....

My car is parked, with the front of the car pointing downards because it is parked downhill.....

Should i somehow repark my car so that it is uphill and do the simple unflooding again?
What about trying to push start the car?
What else can i do? I am so frustrated.....

Someone Please help

if it's easy enough for you to do, try the push start option first...

Ok, i feel retarted........ i let my car roll, and then i poped my car into first gear, and pop started my car..... so i thought my car was flooded and let it warm up and ran also idle for 30 minutes......

when i stopped my car, it wouldn't start again.... so i do the same thing, but this time, the car didn't pop start........and i realize that it should be the starter's probelm.... now my car is lower downhill..... is there anything i can do to make the car atleast start so that i can bring it back infront of my house to change the starter?

So is it flooded or not? If it's flooded, take out the spark plugs and crank the motor until all the gas has escaped from the engine. It's fairly simple to do.

so you're saying it's not a flooding problem now, it's a starter? you should still be able to push start it, then...

i don't think it is flooding....i hear a small CLICK.... when i try to crank it. and sometimes i hear several clicks......so i assume it is the starter.... my friend said to knock on the starter with a screw driver..... he say it will get the starter to work.... I don't mind changing the starter but i want to get my car in front of my house first... is there any other way to get my starter working?
