I would turn it over by hand several times to make sure it will. How about a tune-up; plugs, points, rotor and cap. Probably replace the condenser too but I find that a pain. Time it.

I got two of the rotten tires to hold air on the split rims and I have them up front, and I have two 1999 Ford E350 motorhome wheels on the back. I had to put those wheels on backwards because they would not clear the brake drums to install correctly. They stick out beyond the sides of the fenders about 4 inchs and look ridiculous and too big. All very temporary. Only so I can roll her around. That brings me to my second project, seeing if the engine will start so I can evaluate it. It is the original 216. Truck has 1968 plates so engine has probably not been started in 46 years. Does anyone have any tips for me on what to do? I pulled the oil pan and cleaned out all the solid crud. Then I put in fresh 30 wt oil and sprayed some light oil down the spark plug holes. Then I pulled the distributer and made myself a tool to spin the oil pump with a drill. I did this until oil came out around the rocker arms.What next? Should I hook up a battery and spin it, or should I turn it over manually? Thank you all in advance.
