Re: [Amc-list] And the pistons go up and down...

Bruce roll it over quite a few times by hand until it's turning pretty freely (with spark plugs removed). You don't want a ring to catch on a pit or spec of rust and crack now! Then put a battery in and roll it over 30-60 seconds with the starter with the plugs still out. After that put the plugs back in and try starting it up. 

Forget the gas tank, get a piece of fuel line and run it from the pump to a half-gallon/gallon milk jug hung under the hood! Will get you around the block a few times (5-10 miles or so) anyway!!
