New engine build - 1st startup

[elorenzof]

I am ready to start this engine for the first time.

This is my first time doing this so if anyone can help me with my butterflies in my belly that would be nice! I am 99% sure i have the TDC on cylinder # 1 and distributor clocked correctly. This engine has been rebuilt for about 9 months sitting around. Do i need to pull the distributor and do the oil pump priming tool? Another thing, the exhaust kit i ordered from LMC does not fit my k10 due to the transfer case. So all i have is the exhaust manifolds no exhaust. would this be a problem? After i get it running i will have it towed to the muffler shop and have them deal with the exhaust. As for the timing everyone is different (actuall degrees to set it at) all i know is the basics.

Any suggestions please chime in i sound like a newbie because i am.
