Be sure to remove the drive gear! Otherwise, no cranky! Removing the point
plate and all of the advance mechanism will leave you with a nice small
shaft to clamp into the drill. The load on the drill will indicate when oil
pressure is being built up in the motor. Install the new oil filter,too.
This is the best "fate" for a smog-advance distributor. Lousy advance
curve, great oil pump tool!

One can make a priming tool out of an old distributor. Remove all the
wires and ignition paraphernalia from the distributor. Insert the tool
into
the distributor aperture making certain the lower end engages the top of
the
oil pump. Attache an electric drill to the top end. Run the drill for
several minutes. Then turn the engine by hand while you run the drill.
You
may need two people to do this; run the drill while someone is turning
the
engine by hand. This will pump oil to all parts of the engine.
