Besides the excellent suggestions below, I would pull the spark plugs, shoot some oil in each cylinder and crank at least 20 revolutions with the plugs out. You might want to mark your plug wires so you don't get them backwards. The firing order is on the block though. You definitely will want new spark plugs. Old ones can look OK but after sitting that long, they may not want to fire. I recommend AC C86 or C87. If you are a Champion fan, YD21s. If you do shoot some oil in the cylinders, she will smoke about 30 minutes after you get it started until all that oil clears out.

Good luck and keep us posted. If it has been shedded all this time and ran fine in 1989, your probability of getting her started are very good. I got a combine to fire that sat out for 7 years with some difficulty.
