First start on rebuilt '32 - precautions?

Congrats on your new car, we need to see pictures before we will answer any questions!

Just kidding of coarse, Some oil down the cylinders is a good idea, leave the spark plugs out when you spin it. It may spit some oil out, lay a rag over the heads?

I always pre oil by just rigging up a fitting into the oil port on the back of the block, to a hose, to a funnel, and just let a quart or 2 dribble down into the system. It takes a while, have your funnel mounted some how. It won't probably go every where, but will get some of the galleys full, and dribble down to the pump. have a temporary oil gauge on it to see when the pump kicks in
