For a TR-2/3/4, a quick way to get the dizzy on the correct tooth is in

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Hmmm.... I friend of mine made
up a utility tool, a female slotted rod that mates to the oil pump
through the distributor mount. We attach a 1/2" variable speed
drill, (in reverse) and prime the motor that way. Works well, getting the
dizzy in on the correct tooth takes way longer, I'd welcome a a trick
there!<br><br>

If all you are doing is starting it in the garage on level ground, there
will be more than enough oil in the oil pan even once it gets pumped to
the accusump. Alternately, same issue on overfilling - unlikely to
cause any problems, and you could overfill by one quart, then go back and
and another once the accusump is filled.<br><br>
I use one of the tanks pictured below to fill the system when I am
starting up a freshly rebuilt engine. This forces oil through all
the galleys at over 30 PSI. I just put in 4 quarts and put most of
the oil in this way, then disconnect the hose from the oil galley and
start the engine. The only problem with this one is it’s a pain to fill
- Summit sells one with a bigger fill port, but more money.<br><br>
BTW, Accusump will rebuild their product, though I think all that’s in
there is a big o-ring.<br><br>

I’ve got a question about how best to charge a new accusump. I replaced
my old one because I feared it might have been compromised with some
shrapnel from blowing up an engine and the fact it was a few decades
old.<br><br>
I’m trying to minimize the engine being started without oil pressure as
much as possible. I’d like to keep it to two times. I had to start it
once (to break in the new cam and lifters) without charging the accusump
because I wanted to catch any “stuff” from the new engine in the K
&P reusable oil filter and didn’t want the new accusump to be
involved in case there was metal particles, etc. as a result of the first
running. Fortunately there was none, except a tiny tiny piece of gasket
that had escaped all the cleaning and block cleansing that had been
done.<br><br>
Now I’m ready to do one more start up and my plan is to run it so that
the oil gets filtered one more time and while it is running to flip the
switch (it has an electric valve) to the accusump (2 quart) to fill
it up and pressurize it. <br><br>
Question is, should I add extra oil initially before the start up (which
means it will be 2 quarts over full) or fill it up once I throw the
switch while the accusump takes 2 quarts of oil from the existing oil in
the system?<br><br>
My concerns by are using the former method overfilling can cause problems
and the latter method means the system might be low on oil until I can
quickly pour another two quarts in.<br><br>
What to do? At this point I’m leaning towards the latter
method.<br><br>
Thanks<br>
