oil pump priming

[Mitchel Seff <ms6453@optonline.net>]

Just finishing up on a rebuild & went to prime the oil pump & motor by 
turning the oil pump shaft with a drill. I made a simple shaft to fit 
over the oil pump tip at the bottom of the distributor hole. The drill 
is turning at about 800rpm, any faster and oil spills out of the hole. I 
can only get about 19lbs on the gauge. The drill turns in a counter 
clockwise direction. Does this sound like the pressure should be higher.
