Hello All,
Has anybody ever considered removing the oil filter adapter completely and making a cap for the block. Then use an oil primer drive for the distributor to cause the pump to go over relief this would force a large amount of oil through the relief and my clear any debris/junk in the seat of the relief? Seems like I read a GM service note about this somewhere?

I don't think you would need to use a priming tool, though.

Just pull the coil wire and crank for a few seconds. Maybe repeat a few times.

Couldn't hurt things any more than they are probably already hurt.

Good luck!

I was just thinking using the primmer tool would be less wear and tear on the distributor roll pin.
