Guys-
I'm just about to start the tear down phase of my restoration and was wondering if I should try to start my Bronco. It hasn't been started in 17+ years, but the engine does turn freely. It was originally parked due to a broken column shifter which never got fixed and hence the Bronco was forgotton about...for a long time.
I don't have keys for it (I do have a title!), but maybe one of ya'll could tell me how to hot wire a car.
So, is i there any benefit to starting her up?...knowing I'd need to put in new plugs, wires, coil, and run through the carb? Regardless of the outcome, it still needs to be rebuilt.
I'm leaning towards not starting it, but please let me know if I should reconsider.

PS-It isn't drivable either...seats are out and there are no brakes.
