Hello all,

Returned from my 2000 mile round trip to get Freddy's engine, it is almost 
totally back in, just need to pour in the fluids and hookup a couple last 
things. What is the best way to go about the first startup? I am thinking 
disconnect the fuel pump (electric) and the coil and crank it over until 
some pressure shows on the gauge, then try to start? I am hoping I have the 
timing set somewhere remotely close to where it should be...
Pointers on static checking that would be great too.
Hope to be back on the road tomorrow!
