Pull the plugs and give each jug a shot of Marvels mystery oil then whirl it over until it builds oil pressure.

Looks like wiper blades should be on the list.
Disconnect the coil and spin the motor for a few seconds to get oil up top and pull gas to the carb, then reconnect the coil and fire up.

Mine sits for months and months each year I just randomly crank it over whenever I get around to it. Mines been sitting for 13 months this time around and I’ll just crank it over till it fires up. I’m not to worried , Now that you asked this question I’ll have to find a way to fire mine up soon. Hopefully she fires. Hmm.

..like, an ounce or so..?
I use a big syringe with some tubing - less messy. 10cc or so if it has been a long time, 5 is enough for over winter. My 72 sat for perhaps 15 years out side. -20 to over 100. I dosed it up really good at day one. Then every few years when I had to move it like 10 yards to clean up around it and move it back using the starter I would give it a shot. Low range and no plugs makes it easier on the starter. Anyway this spring, I had to file the points to get spark, put on a new $10 electric fuel pump and she fired right up on fresh gas. Hardly smoked at all for a few minutes.

Gr8.
You got points huh..
Yes. The PO set up my rig with a Delco distributor and a Rochester 2 BBL. I added the header when the cast iron exhaust manifold cracked in half.
