Sounds like everyone is on the same page. Like Bill said us old guys use to tow them to get them started.
My buddies and I rebuilt a V-8 in my 46 woodie when we were wise old seasoned 16 year old mechanics. My dad gave it a tow with his car and down the road we went. Took one of my helpers home and a half hour late my dad got a call from my friends mom complaining about the puddle of oil we left in here driveway...oops, forgot to reinstall the dip stick tube. Had to go back and clean up the mess. That helped "season us" because 55 years later I am still triple checking when I "button one up".
Keep us posted, Chap
