You should get it running, if you don't know much about how to go about that then pay someone who does and not some "shade tree" that thinks they know. The fuel tank should be flushed and cleaned as well as the fuel lines before attempting to run the car. This can be done with the fuel tank in the car in less time than trying to remove the tank and take it out of the car. If the engine can be turned over by hand (take the plugs out) pinch the fan belt and you should be able to turn the engine. Put a few drops of light oil in the cyls. throught the plug holes before attempting to rotate the engine. If the engine turns then a good complete tune-up is the next order of business, take the dist. out and prime the oil pump by chucking up a flat blade screwdriver bit (minus handle) in a drill and turn the pump clockwise until you get oil to the top end (rockers). A car is worth a lot more that runs than one that does not or is an unknown about the condition of the engine.
