Good advice, and if you really want to help her out, have a decent amount of room above the distributor, and can find the resources, set #1 cylinder to TDC (fire) mark distributor base with a scribe or ink marker and then remove it. Either renting (from mechanic) or making (using old distributor drive shaft) you can utilize a 3/8ths drill to spin up the oil pump, effectively creating enough oil pressure to lubricate the entire engine. This way, when you fire the engine, you will have lubricated the mains, cam bearings, rocker assembly, and hydraulic lifters if so equipped, and minimize the chances of taking out a bearing or damaging a lifter at startup. May seem a little over the top, but after sitting for a few years, your engine will thank you for it. Oh yeah, change the oil before doing so.
or you could crank it over with out the plugs in it , that way there will be no load on the main bearings and everthing will get oiled !
