1963 oil priming
Good morning -
I have a 1964 Pontiac Grand Prix that has a 1963 coded motor in it - not sure as to why.. I inherited this from my wife’s grandad. I have had it for 7 years.
Currently undergoing an engine rebuild. I did a full gasket, changing out some key parts like oil pump, rear main seal, electric ignition, etc.
I’m at the stage to prime the oil. I bought an oil priming tool from Ames that fits on my drill to turn the shaft inside the distributer hole on the oil pump. I turned it counter clockwise for 3-4 minutes and never saw any oil.
I know that earlier models oiled from the rocker studs, which is covered by the rocker nut and washer, so I took one off to see if I could get oil to come up that way. Still nothing.
I replaced the nut and washer and turned the motor two full revolutions and tried again. Still nothing.
Am I doing something wrong?
