I have a 1980 Z28 Camaro 350 that has been in storage for 18 years.

It has new tires and has been up on blockas but no other storage preps. I want to get it out and running but I am concerned about a dry engine and other unknowns.

I am planning on a new battery, replacing gasoline, spraying spark plug holes with WD40? And fogging carb, plus regular routine checks. Am I missing anything else?

Please advise me on the steps I should take to get this car running.

Check or replace all the hoses and check the belts. If the tires were new 18 years ago get rid of them as they are only good for about 6years. Replace ALL the fluids, incuding the brake fluid.
