  IT might run if all else was perfect, but I doubt it'd run well and you'd 
probably have to tow it.  If the gauge isn't moving when you run the 
engine back, either something's hanging in the distributor since you put 
the o-ring back in or something's binding in your gauge not letting it 
move.
  Just talked Dad half through a top cap re-seal on a CAV pump on 
one of the tractors.  He said the shaft o-rings were the worst ones 
he could ever remember installing!  Really had to stretch them over 
the shaft and then the bottom on had to go past two other grooves 
to get into its own.  Once primed it started, ran and shut off!  :-)  
That's the only stuff that was disturbed so it was a success!
