It probably takes the same number of crankshaft revolutions to get oil
pressure either way, oil circulation will take place quicker at idle rpms
than at cranking speed. I'd rather have it start right away and save wear
and tear on the starter/ring gear.

I recently gave in and put universal electric fuel pumps on all my cars.
I was tired of all that cranking after the cars sat for a couple of
weeks. Works great - I have a momentary push button under the dash that
I hit for a few seconds and it fills the carb. Got them at Pep-Boys for
about $30. As for a check valve - I believe the mechanical pump already
has check-valving in it. I mounted mine on the frame under the pass.
