Re: [FWDLK] Oil Pump Priming Tool

[Dave Stragand <dave.stragand@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, it has to be the hex head.  The scredriver-type slot is on the
pump driveshaft gear... You can't turn that slot without turning the gear on
the shaft, thus the cam, thus the whole engine.  You need to remove the pump
driveshaft/gear in order to prime the pump without turning over the engine.
The priming tool then goes all the way down into the pump.

There is a picture of this driveshaft/gear at

It should be flat screwdriver type. That distributor is the same as the LA
small block (as far as dimensions go). Sounds like you got the wrong one. If
you have trouble with Jegs, you can get one from Hot Heads for $12. That is
where I bought mine. The pump should rotate clockwise from the top.
