With the plugs out, but then I just use a light weight oil & put a couple of squirts in each cylinder & never have had a problem even starting a 1940 Chevy 6cylinder mtr that sat for over well over 30yrs outside......

Put whatever oil you'll be using in the cylinders & let it sit for a couple of days. Then try to turn it over w/the breaker bar. I normally turn the mtr over clockwise a bit & then turn it counter clockwise & continue to repeat but turn the mtr over a little more each time IF it will let you. Don't be afraid to add more oil before you first start it up. Once the mtr will turn over freely, then put the battery in & let the starter do the work. Plus it will push out any extra oil that maybe still in the cylinders. I'd use the starter to turn it over in 30 second shots a couple of times.
You could just use a gas can for a small fuel cell w/some hose going to the fuel pump but be sure to keep it far enough away from the carb incase the mtr backfires, you DON'T want to burn the car & yourself up. Personally I'd pull thetank & check it, nothing worse then fighting trash getting into your carb...joe
