16 ozs of oil in total would require one more step...start the car outside your garage...LOLPull the plugs and put a couple ounces of fresh engine oil in each cylinder. Rotate the engine a couple revolutions by hand and reinstall the plugs.
Pre-fill the carburetor float bowls using a small funnel through the vent tubes.
Ideally, pull the distributor (make sure you mark the rotor location on the distributor housing and the housing location somewhere on the engine. I use a paint pen or WiteOut pen) and run the oil pump (counter clockwise) with an electric drill for about 10 seconds after oil pressure is obtained (you'll know when the drill starts "bogging"). If not an option, disconnect the coil wire from the distributor cap and ground it and crank the engine until oil pressure begins to register on the gauge.
2 cups of oil in the exhaust system will be a real "smoke show"...
