I have a motor thats been sitting for about 4 years now since it was last properly spun, How do i go about oil priming? i know on a 1980-89 or thereabouts 350 SBC you need a special tool with a blockoff to get oil to the passenger side pushrods but i dont know if it carries over to a '98+ 262.

 

made from a old dist. harbor freight and most auto parts stores sell the ready made unit .
pull the dist. drop it in and spin the oil pump with a drill .....

 

Guess i am heading to a junkyard to pull a distributor then eh? (Also happy new years folks)

 

The 4.3L uses the same primer has a SBC or BBC engines. Summit has what you need.
