- Just the right size to touch the ground.
You can prime the oil pump with a drill. I did it. I forget what size socket I found that fit the oil pump drive (close enough, possibly a Torx socket too), but that and a longer 1/4" extension and a drill is all I used. You have to remove the dummy cover where the distributor used to be. It still works the same way as if it had a distributor. I had my motor on a stand with the valve covers off. So I watched the cam lube lines until I got good flow. Would have liked to have had a gauge on the oil pressure port, but didn't have the correct adapter. Kinda regretting that now.
