Good luck with your first start-up of the car. 
Because your car can easily be a little out of time at
the first start-up I don't think it's a good idea to
put gas down the carb throat.  You can get a backfire
which could damage you or start a fire.  I don't think
starter fluid is a good idea either.  

You might want to disconnect the coil wire and crank
the engine over with the starter until the carb bowl
is full.  You can check this by pumping the
accelerator and seeing if you get a nice stream of
fuel into the carb throat.  Then hook up the coil wire
and let-er-rip.  Check for fluid leaks.  If you are
breaking in a new cam, follow the cam manufacturers
direction for breakin.  That generally requires you to
run the engine for 15 or twenty minutes at 2000 rpm or
more.
