I want to start my 2.25 in my 109 SW for the first time since my restoration project. I'm not close to finishing the truck, but the engine is close. What are the bare minimum requirements to start the engine? I know spark, air, fuel, but what needs to be hooked up?

Don't forget the oil! Sounds dumb but.....
Hook up the battery, ground strap, ignition circuit, fuel lines and you should be good to turn it over. Don't run it too long without the coolant.

What does the ignition circuit include? Ignition coil, starter etc...

Thanks for the reply
