I agree with 31Tudor. Since the Model A does not have a pressurized oil system, turning the oil pump (if you could) would not accomplish much. Better to pour oil down the distributor hole. I would also put a little oil in each cylinder so they are not dry when first spinning.

Has the engine ever been run since restoring?
