priming om603 ip on slope
So Ive got a bit od a conundrum... new to me 300d was running great. Easy to start, no serious issues. Glow system works awesome. So I park it in my driveway for a week without driving it. Will not start... at all. Looks like delivery valves are leaking a little (socket and parts en route). So after trying a little wd40 to kick it over, no luck. I cracked the lines and the first 3 bled quickly (the back 3) and those cylinders will kick now. I killed the battery but cant get the front 3 to start pushing fuel. Do I need to get the car off the slope to get it bled? Im hesitant to push it down the hill since battery charging will be difficult if I do. Should I charge the battery and crack the front lines again or try to start on flat ground?
Thanks

Cinch the three that are blef. Crank until the next bleeds. Cinch it. Etc.

Oh... Unplug the glow controller before cranking... save the juice for the starter!

Thanks, my dumb@$$ forgot about unplugging the glow plugs. Got the first 3 tight. On battery charge number 3
 Probably needs a battery too in the near future... still not getting fuel from the front 3. I did notice the return line from the filter to the tank looks a little shady. Ill get that swapped and report back. Never took this much time with my old car (also an om603). Trying to get it going before the delivery valve socket gets here as WAF (wife approval factor) is inversely proportional to how long it sits in the driveway not running.
