Something's wrong with your glow circuit. Pull the fuse out and hold it in your hand.
Try to pull start it. that will purge the old fuel, so you can work on just the glows.

Good advice!!
You may have a case of "Death in a jug"
Interesting that it cranks strong, maybe low compression from stuck rings caused by WVO use?
Why was the car sitting for a year?
The idea of pull starting has merit if you can. Best done at about 40 mph. Get up to speed in neutral & then put into D. The trans will turn the motor much faster than a starter. Once started it probably wont idle properly for a while.
Good Luck !!!!
