Rebuilt 225 first start

So, I'm getting close to starting my 97,000 mile slanty for the first time since 1981-82 and thinking about things. 100% rebuild including head. As in 100%. 1964 225, bored .04, head milled .08, Carter BBS, Oregon 252 regrind, stock point ignition for now. In fact, I bought an electronic dizzy from a well known member here to go HEI but of course it got lost in shipping.

Oil....normally I'd pre-fill the filter but of course the filter points down and has the stand pipe so that's out.
Fuel....I'd like to get gas to the carb ASAP. The fuel system is bone dry as I've replaced the tank and everything else except the main fuel line.

Everybody talks about how important it is to light the engine off immediately to avoid damaging the cam so I'm a little apprehensive about spinning the motor without spark to get oil and gas where it needs to be.

But now that I write this....I think my plan will be to remove the rocker shaft, pushrods and plugs and spin the motor to get oil and fuel where they need to be. Reassemble, jump in and fire that mutha up.

I'm open for comments and suggestions.
