Default 1982 ignition cleaner

Hey, does anyone know what type of ignition cleaner you need to use for 1982 vette. The car has been sitting in a garage a long time, took it out for a drive and it stalled once, also makes a suble noise when it is stopped so I thought this was worth a shot. Thanks

Define "long time".

If it has sat for more than six months it probably needs a good going-over. Could be a multitude of issues, from electrical to fuel. I would do the basics first. Change plugs, filters and put in fresh fuel and change the oil.

Run for a bit and let us know.
