Accepted Answer

Having an engine sitting this long could be a problem.

I Would remove the spark plugs and put t teaspoon of oil in each cylinder .Then remove the distributor and spin the oil pump until you see oil pressure (use a sawed off screw driver in an electric drill ( be careful when spinning the pump you don't want to nick the dist drive gear on the cam).

Then bar the engine over by hand with a breaker baron the crank pulley bolt .

Then you should have enough lubrication to start the engine.
