Yer gotta prime that pump!
No need for an external pump, simply remove the distributor and with a blade type screwdriver bit in an electric drill spin the pump. You can run it as long as you like, it will do no harm. I always do this before starting an engine after rebuild. You can feel the difference in torque when the pump primes and oil pressure comes up. It's good to know you will have oil pressure immediately when you do start the engine.
