Other than making sure everything is set right bolts torqued to the proper specs fuel oil etc
I would prime the oil system real good then hit the key and listen to it roar...

Marvels down every spark plug hole and hand crank for 5-10 rotations.
New oil & filter.
If you have points then clean them in case they oxidized during their long sleep.
Fresh gas.

This worked well for me after a 10 year sleep.

If I had to do it again I would:
Run the oil pump with an electric drill down the dizzy pipe b4 cranking with the starter.
