That valve setting method will get it close enough to run.
But, before putting the gas tank back on, connect it up with a hose, or some way to get fuel to the carb.
Leave the valve cover off, fill the radiator, start it up.
Check the rockers to be sure they are oiling. Won't oil much, but every rocker must have some sign of oil welling up and dripping around the shaft.
Let it run long enough to get up to temperature, watch for leaks, anything abnormal.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
