I like all the advice others give but would like to suggest a slightly different approach in a couple of areas. Check every inch of air intake for mud dauber,wasp and rat nests. Manys a good engines have been ruined when nests were sucked in and sent through cylinders. Before changing crankcase oil,put transmission fluid instead of motor oil in plug holes then alow to sit overnight or while you are checking out other things. Some of the fluid might find it's way passed worn/stuck rings into crankcase and polute fresh oil. After cylinders have soaked in trans fluid overnight,turn engine through at least one full revolvolution by hand WITH PLUGS REMOVED then turn a few revs with starter to blow out excess trans fluid before putting plugs in. I would clean and gap old plugs for use during first hour or two of operation. No sense gooking up new plugs burning off all the oil/trans fluid in cylinders. It is a good idea to have working guages on any engine but twice as important on newly overhauled or bringing out of moth balls engine. Catching low oil pressure or overheating quickly can save an engine. You inheriated a fine machine in the Super A.
