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.
Then shut it off, be ready to retorque the head bolts while it is still warm.
Then when it has cooled off, reset the valve lash. You can use the same method for setting them, but be sure to start it up and listen for any loose ones. You can stick the feeler gauge in each rocker to tell which one is noisy.
I prefer to set them one at a time, hand turning the engine through with the plugs out, moving the feeler gauge between the rocker and valve as I turn the engine, feeling for the loosest point. Takes a little longer, but I know they are right when finished.

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
