Hello, ALL

I have this old classic car in my garage.  I need to get it to where it
will crank, so I can sell it and we can move to Alabama.

It is a 1996 or so Cadillac Seville Elegante - - fun to drive but
guzzles the gas.  Has been sitting since about 1992, when I realized
that re-do of the leather upholstery was gonna cost more than the car
was worth at the time.

Battery in it died, and I now have a new one to install.

I've heard various advice about what to do before trying to crank it up
 - one said to pour about 1/2 pint of atf into the throttle body and
 then let her rip.  Another said to take all the plugs out, one at a
 time, and spray WD-40 or so down in there before trying to turn it over
 with the new battery.

What say ye?
