1988 Toyota Supra

this car is amazingly clean, and 100 percent stock, saturday I will be testing the compression of the cylinders, if those are fine then I will be driving it home.

BTW: where can the fuse for the fuel pump be found? that way when cranking there will be no gas going to engine.
If the compression is fine should I retorque the head to the proper amount (to prevent it from going bad), or let it be?

I have read that if it is that old and has sat like that fine for 20 years that adjusting it might encourage it to go bad.

What do people think... is this an opinion thing, or was someone misinformed?
Thanks so much for help!

EDIT: Also what fluids/hoses/belts should I be replacing as a priority?
