I cut the gear teeth off of an extra pump drive rod, installed it . Then I took a 1/4 pipe nipple and crushed one end in a vice to an oval shape. I then chucked the round end of the nipple in a 1/2" hand drill and put the oval end on the drive shaft end that couples to the distributor. This allowed me to prime the whole oil system before turning the crank. JUst make sure you remove the oil pump and reinstall the drive rod with teeth before starting the engine!
