Depends what your plans are for the engine. If you care about it you can disconnect the lead from the coil to the distributor and crank it over until there's oil pressure but otherwise you can crank it over 'til it starts. I'd personally crank it until I get pressure at the very least but if you're going to scrap it then it doesn't matter.

On a sidenote which rear lights does it have? If they aren't smoked and they are good I'll buy them
