Hey Alfie ~

If you are asking how to spin a Chevy 235 oil pump so that oil goes up
into your rocker arm then you just have to take a big screw driver and
break or saw off the handle.  Put the screw driver in an electric drill
and stick it down into where the distributer goes and you will spin your
oil pump to prime your engine.

If you mean the oil pressure sending unit hole then I can't help ya

Hi all,
I"m trying to figure out how I can prime an odd ball engine?
I dont' have a  spare distributor to tear apart.
is anyone familiar with a tool that pumps oil in through the sending unit
hole?
Thanks
