"manually" turning over 79 L48 engine thats been sitting 20 years

by Steve C.
(New Hampshire)

I've got a 79 L48 thats been sitting for 20 years.
Am about to bring it back to life.Drove it in the
garage and it's sat there ever since.Before I attempt to
start it,I'd like to "bar" the engine over to loosen things up (breaker bar and socket).Where would I attach
the socket? I'll pull the plugs first,of course.Anyone
got a technique?Thanks.
