Either hand crank the engine or disable the ignition and crank it for a few seconds after getting it all together. There's plenty of oil inside the engine at start up. Don't believe the Slick 50 marketing hype.

Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.
