I actually had a dream about the oil pump priming last night. I bought the primer mentioned above, and I guess it was stewing around the subconcious and jumped up as a dream problem. With a ford, the distributor drive shaft for the oil pump is mounted before sealing up the pan. The shaft comes with a little washer that keeps the shaft from pulling out when you remove the distributor(flash back to when I'm 17 rebuilding my 289, and put the washer on the oil pump side of the shaft, effectively making it worthless for the above mentioned purpose). So in my dream I'm envisioning pushing in the oil pump primer from above the engine through the distributor hole down to the oil pump and priming it with the drill in reverse. Then it dawns on me, you can't do that it the drive shaft is mounted in place.
Now I'm wondering if this primer hooks up to the top of the oil pump drive shaft?
