First of all, welcome to the board. Next, where are you? If you pull the spark plugs out, change the oil and spray the cylinders down with some WD40, thats a good start. Let the WD40 sit overnight, then put a little motor oil in and let that sit for a while. Then with fresh oil in the engine, you can either pull it through by hand, or try clicking it over with the starter. I'd go by had to start with.

Once you are ready to crank it with the starter you will find out if the fuel pump is good, (it will buzz.) If the gas tank is foul, pull it and get it redone. Replace both fuel filters, drain and fill the coolent (even if you just use reverse osmosis water) and then you should be ready to see if it will fire. A new set of plugs will go a long way, as will a new set of points and a dizzy cap.

Thats what I did with my car that sat for 30 years. It runs like a top.

Once you get it to start, just let it idle, don't rev it, just let it sit there and do its thing. Check for leaks, and after its fully warm, shut it down, check your fluid levels, and go from there. You can gently rev the engine from this point, slowly add throttle, and take it easy. Listen for any bad noises, if you hear something that sounds bad, stop.

Mine smoked and blew acorn pieces and rust out the tail pipe for a long time, eventually it quit doing all the above and is now happy. Yours will smoke like crazy as you have sprayed WD40 and oil into the combustion chamber and it will have to burn off. The smoke should have a blue color to it. White, you have a possible head gasket leak, black, you have a carb/ spica issue (its way rich.)

Post some pictures so we can see what you have.

Good luck,
Will
