So I just acquired a 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V for free (besides towing costs), body is in good condition. Problem is it has been sitting in a garage since 1998. We put a new battery in it and all the electronics worked fine, but I'm hesitant of cranking it over because I know there are some things that need to be done. Possibly dropping the gas tank, checking the carburetor, etc. Are there other things you think I need to check before I try cranking this thing over? I'm very mechanically inclined.

Thanks for all the advice. I misspoke and meant to say that I am NOT that mechanically inclined. You all have helped a lot so its time to see if I can get this tank of a vehicle running!
