These are from the Step By Step, first time instructions, this is for a jeep, but basically the same thing. However, that site now has this page as a legacy, so just in case the way back machine is broken, these are the steps.

Notes
Radiator Hoses Connected
Connect temporary Oil Gauge and line to block
I didn't do this
Connect Fan belt to generator
Connect Fuel pump to Carburetor
Drop a little 30wt oil into each cylinder, about ½ teaspoon, then crank engine manually to get the cylinder walls lubed. Temporarily install Spark plugs gapped to .030
Set the dwell on distributor points to .020 and attach the spark plug wires 1-3-4-2 order, also connect the coil wire to distributor cap.
Fill Radiator fluid into radiator, place on radiator cap and look for leaks.
Add 30wt oil into filler tube, check level. Note: when engine starts it will fill the oil filler canister after about 3-4 minutes. Thus, when you shut engine off, check level again.
Install Battery on battery tray and connected the ground wire to Starter
Final Wiring Connections: 1. Positive battery cable to Foot Starter post 2. Foot starter post to Starter 3. Ignition coil terminal to Key switch 4. Ignition key switch terminal to Foot Starter
Connect fuel pump to temporary Fuel supply make sure your tubing is submerged in fuel. Prime the fuel pump, listen for fuel into the carburetor.
Prime the Oil Pump Pete Silfven recommends to prime the oil pump by removing the spark plugs (and ignition key OFF) to turn over the engine a few times. You want to see the oil pressure on the gauge start to rise. Upon validation, continue.
Before the initial CRANK! Pete also suggests - be sure you have a fire extinguisher handy and a damp rag in case there's a small carb fire. Use the rag to smother it if possible, the extinguishers make a mess
Your now ready to turn engine over by turning the ignition key ON, and pressing the Foot Starter. BE CAREFUL not to touch posts on the foot starter or you will get a nice zap shock. You may need to check your carburetor settings if the engine starts and then dies (won't hold the idle)
Once your engine is running it will sound like music to your ears, but you want to watch the Oil pressure and the Temperature gauge. If your temp goes beyond 220 then stop and check your cooling system. Your Oil gauge should idle at around 40psi.
