My 1988 vette has been sitting all this time and I finally am going to get back to it. Any recommendations as to steps to take before I try to crank it over? Thanks for any info. I'm anxious to return it to the road. Some of my best days were in that machine ! Thanks in advance, Jim

fresh fluids, fresh fuel - new fuel filter, pull plugs and lube cylinders and spin over by hand. Pull distributor and prime oil pump if you are up to it. Otherwise crank away and say a prayer.

You may have to replace the piston return springs..

The blue springs should not require replacement.

change the oil first, decent gas

Charge the battery and see if it will start, if so then go drive it, otherwise fix it.
