I've had my 92 LT1 Automatic sitting in limbo and I would like to start it up. Unfortunately it sat outdoors so it took about 4 years of California weather.

I would like to fire her up but it do it the right way. I've always known after a certain amount of time, attempting to just start it up is actually bad, am I right?

What are some things I should before hooking up a new battery and cranking it up? Clean tubes? Exchange filters? Flush?
I'm a big newbie/rookie but always up for the challenge...its been sitting there its the most I can do at this point....

change the oil and drain the tank.

My 86 sat for 4 years under a canvas garage in north Idaho. I smelled the gas in the tank; it smelled good. I changed the oil and fired it up. Ran great.

Always change the oil. Years ago I got a car that had been sitting for years and the oil lost its viscosity. Spun a rod bearing on it because at the time I was too cheap/ignorant to change the oil before doing anything else.

I like to pull the plugs, put a squirt or oil in each cylinder and turn the motor a few revolutions by hand.
