My car hasn't been started in over a year. Going to try to start it tommorow. What do I need to do to it before I crank it over? Thanks.

I'd prime the oiling sytem before you crank it over. I'd also turn the motor over by hand a couple times in case any rings got sticky. If doing this, some WD down the plug holes beforehand might not be a bad idea.
That said, plenty of guys have let cars sit longer and not done any of this. We just don't know if you have some beautiful new motor or anything like that.
Good luck.

1. Change oil & filter
2. Charge battery
3. Change out old gas in tank if in a high humidity area (engine will run on stale gas but poorly)
4. If you feel ambitious, prime the oiling system and re-time engine after starting.
