Default No oil while priming

I am attempting to prime my motor but am getting no oil through the push rods.

Several weeks ago, I attempted to prime with a flat head extension on my drill while the motor was out of the car. As soon as I started, some assembly lube started to push out but about 10 seconds later the bit fell into my oil pan.
After draining the oil and pulling the pan I decided to wait until the motor was in the car and use a proper rod.

Fast forward to no.

After several minutes of drilling with an actual priming rod, I am getting no oil out of any pushrod. I have rotated the crank multiple times.

Double checked the direction of the distributor and that there was oil. I am slightly worried this could be a major problem.

Drill I am using is a new 6 amp black and decker w/ cord.
