I have a similer situation, but mine has only been sitting for 6 years I think. I plan to change oil, remove plugs, add some oil to each cylinder thru plug, crank without plugs or ignition till I get oil pressure, install fresh plugs and check points and try to fire it up - or work at it till it runs. Mine has carb off and apart, so I will have to rebuild it first. I am also planning to drain and clean fuel tank and supply line - hoping I will not find a lot of rust. I am thinking of jacking rear of car and letting fresh gas run thru the line to flush it out. You may find you have a leaky carb if you get it running. Check rubber gas lines for rot and watch for gas leaks once it runs. Good luck.
