Terry,
Good suggestion!
That raises an interesting question. Does anyone have a pressurized
pre-luber permanently mounted on a T-series and how has it worked out
for you? They aren't as important with solid lifter engines as with
hydraulics but it might save a lot of startup wear for infrequently used
cars as life gets in the way of driving them.

Bill, In addition to what Bob sez, I'd disconnect the oil pressure gauge
and
connect a pre-oiler and force oil in until it shows up at the rockers
before
firing....or if you have enough battery power spin like Bob sez until
you get
oil at the rockers however during this time your main and cam bearings
are
running mostly dry...not good. You will most likely have lost the prime
in your
oil pump too...so depending on what oil pump you have, prime it again.
You can make a preoiler oout of large dia. Sked 40 plastic pipe.
Somewhere
around here I have the plans to do it but you might google it too.
Good Luck
Terry
