I took an old distributor pulled the gear off and every ting off of the top
and use that for my primer that way it takes care of the oil passage. I had the
same issue with just a shaft.

If you are useing just a shaft the oil won't flow under
pressure. The distributor housing has an oil passage which the oil flows
through to make the hole connection. Tom B. ---Grand Rapids,

Dennis how long have you been spinning it? When I
preoiled my crate motor, it seemed to take quite a bit longer than I
expected to get the oil up. Do you have the oil pressure sending unit
hole (near distributor) closed off?

from the pushrod-rocker interface. The pump is being spun clockwise
at a few hundred RPM.
Thanks,

Yes you should see oil
coming out of the little hole at the pushrod seat on the rocker
arm. If you don't have the rockers in place and adjusted, the oil
is probably leaking out where the pushrod sits in the lifter.
Also make sure you're spinning the oil pump in the right direction
- small & big block Chevy distributors spin clockwise.

I'm spinning the oil pump in anticipation
of starting my new 350 and there is no sign of oil flow in the rocker
arm area. Shouldn't oil come out of the top of the
pushrods?
