Harry, yes it should still generate oil pressure with the rocker gear line dis connected. Depending on how the cam is sitting oil may or may or may not come up through the pipe, when you turn the pump. You will feel the resistance and hear the noises when pressure comes up.
It may be that the distributor wasn't right home from the start, and it has only just started not driving the pump.
