Starting 1800 1969

Priming with the oil pump is no doubt a great way to get the bearings oiled.
I would also pour a tablespoon or two of oil in each cylinder as suggested.

I'd probably even go so far as to dribble some oil down the pushrods to hopefully get some on the lifters and cam lobes.

Then I'd keep the spark plugs out and turn it over with the starter to bring up some oil pressure and also get some fuel into the pump and fuel bowls.

Yea, I tend to over-do it sometimes.
