Do the basic tune up. Oil/filter/plugs/points&condencer/wires/degrease and clean the carb. Oh ya and make sure you flush that radiator. DO A COMPRESSION TEST. hope that helps!

Might want to think about draining the gas tank. Also before you start it, hand crank it with a socketwrench to get all the internals lubed up. RF
