Starting a car in hibernation for yrs

[indyjps]

change the oil, pull the plugs, wd40 the cylinders and spin it over by hand, turn it over with the starter with a battery charger hooked up, (may want to pull the valve covers and make sure none of the valves are sticking), drain the gas out of the tank and carb, refuel see if it will start. will most likely need a battery, alternator, carb rebuild, radiator flush, oil change, thermostat cap rotor plug wires would be a safe bet, may even service the trans, run it a while and check your hoses, vacuum gremlins and water leaks are a big possibility. things like the manifold/heat riser valve seize up sometimes on those, heater core may be shot if the coolant in it was bad, brakes will need to be checked before any driving (hoses included) it all depends on how well it was stored you may get off lucky on some of it but be safe and do the brakes.
