[Spridgets] New engine

[Jim F.]

I've worked on small block chevys most of my life and with a freshly built
engine I was  taught to pre oil before starting. This is accomplished by
spinning the oil pump through the distributer hole with a tool that engages
the oil pump  and spinning with an electric drill untill oil pressure is up to
snuff and this ensures adequate oil to mains and rod bearings.  is there any
way of pre oiling a freshly rebuilt 1275, or is there some way of avoiding a
dry start??
