Oil pump priming

Help:
 
1953 MG-TD with spin on oil filter conversion.  Have changed oil many  times 
- always takes a while to prime - but eventually it Works.
 
This time changed the oil and filter and cannot get it primed.  I try  
everything - even turning the rear wheel in reverse while the transmission is 
in  
4th gear.  Nothing. Cannot get the pressure up.
 
Last took out the relief valve spring and ball - cranked over engine  without 
spark plugs - the relief valve cavity is dry - no oil flowing out.
 
Have I got a huge air pocket in the pump that is preventing a proper  prime?
 
Any suggestions or ideas.?
