Back in the early '60's my '33 with an overhauled 21 stud .083 over engine had a bad battery and I was 300 miles from home going to college. I was able to crank it and it would start on third pull. The pull was from 6 o'clock to 12 o'clock. I did this for a month or so until I could get a new battery. It did not ever want to kick back. I now have a grill guard on the car and will need to remove it to use the crank and would not be at all concerned about it being a problem today.
