[Roadsters] Oil Pump Primer

[Pat Horne]

Tom Walter suggested the shaft priming back in the 90's. The one thing 
that nobody has mentioned is that you have to turn it counter-clockwise 
to prime the engine.

I rebuilt a 1941 Buick Straight 8 some years ago and decided to prime 
the engine using the oi pump. I was really surprised how long it took to 
get the air out of the lines. It took several minutes to bring the 
pressure up to full pressure.

Peace,
Pat
