Now I want to do it just to try it.

Compression test on this engine shows all cylinders around 120psi.

I think it would start pretty easily.

You're right about making sure the key is on. I've forgotten to turn the key on the truck and Packard on several occasions. Then I sit there wondering why they won't start until I notice the dash.
