1968 Javelin SST Rescue

I am new to the forum world, and thought I would share the story of my recent acquisition. I had a 68 Javelin SST as my first car as a teenager. I worked on it endlessly, learning every nut and bolt on the car.I sold it in 1986, and almost instantly regretted it. A half a lifetime later, I finally found another one. It too was the first car of the previous owner, as a teenager. In 1992, he undertook a major restoration, cutting out the rusted panels welding in steel replacements, changing the color from hold to blue,restored the interior, changing the color from gold to black. New BF Goodrich Radial T/A's and Cragar S/S rims. The engine and transmission were rebuilt the year before. He was a brake job away from completion when circumstances in his life forced him to shelve the project. It was stored indoors since '92, moving from place to place. It was started regularly until about 2004, but hasnt run since.
I made the deal a month ago and had it flat bedded home to my garage. It is all original, the only mod to the 2 barrel 290 is a set of headers and dual exhaust.
I have completed the brake job, and am now working on getting it started. I have put Marvel Mystery oil in the cylinders, it turns over well. I have replaced the plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, points, condenser, and coil.
The gas tank had to be dropped and drained, getting about half a gallon of sludge out of it. It was sandblasted, coated and reinstalled last week. The stock carb has been sent out for a rebuild, I hope to get it back for the weekend and try to fire it up. I look forward to working on the car as my weekend project over the long Canadian winter, and getting it road ready for the spring. I anticipate I will be seeking assistance from other forum members as things come up that I can't figure out!

Again, I am new to the forum thing, do I need a minimum of 30 posts to upload pictures? As to priming of the oil pump, I have read of different ways to accomplish this. The easy way is to cut off a standard screwdriver and attach it to a drill, engaging the oil pump down the distributor hole. I have heard this risks damage to the oil pump shaft. Another way would be to get an old distributor and use the distributor shaft itself in the drill. I don't have easy access to an old distributor, how risky is the screwdriver option? Any other ideas?

Ok, here's afew pictures.......This is how it looked when I first found it:
