if fuel was left in tank when car parked there is 85% chance that fuel pump is toast and there may be corrosion in fuel tank.apart from that just common sense items,replace all brake fluid,replace power steering fluid,engine oil coolant etc.when pump and filter replaced it is very poss [if car is 84/85] that piston is stuck in fuel distributor and tapping on it with non metallic hammer while fuel pump running will free it up.i do work for a wholesaler who buys old 450sl's[when i get them most have been sitting for 3 or 4 yrs] but they all eventually run and run well.
