Bill, depending on what car you have it goes something like this"
Remove the distributor. Remove the distributor drive gear (if you have a
TR8 the drive gear is on the distributor shaft). Next attach to your hand
drill your special oil pump shaft adapter (a shaft with a feature on the
end that engages the oil pump shaft) and turn the oil pump. Be sure to
turn the oil pump in the proper direction. For a TR8 it will be clockwise,
for most others it will be counterclockwise (anticlockwise).
Now, what does this special oil pump adapter look like? The one I made for
the TR8 is a shaft with a slot on the end that fits the tip machined on the
end of the oil pump shaft. I forget what the other oil pump shafts look
like. But when you pull the drive gear you will see what it needs to be.
Good luck
Dave
