'87 GL parked last 3years

Hi, Car running when parked. Check oil, looked clean. Look in coolant fill cap, see fluid, squeeze hose, see more fluid. Put in battery, fuel gauge moved about two needle widths. Cranked once less 3 seconds, crank twice full 3 seconds. Rotors spinning like no compression.

Should I just add 5 or 10gal of fresh gas and a tablespoon of ATF each lower plug and give it another go?

NO ATF!

Flush out the old fuel, check the plugs and make sure they are nice and clean, basically do a whole run through on the car. I would change out that oil, sitting for 3 years it may have turned into sludge or gathered moisture in the pan. Crank it a few times with the EGI fuses taken out so that you can build some oil pressure and recoat all the internals.

Will the fuel pump run with key in run position? Should I break open the fuel line at the fuel filter, run line to jug, turn key to run? I'll crank for some oil pressure...good idea. I can get my compression back by just cranking with EGI fuses out? I'm thinking I'll drop the oil after first shut down.
