Re: Questions on priming

[Layne G <64Polara500@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't quite know what I would do without all of you guys!  Thank  
you... Pulled the oil pump, put some Vaseline  around, put her back  
together and was pulling Very nice PSI.  Around 50-60.  Thanks guys  
for all of your help!  I'm sure there will be more questions on the  
way in the future!!
