easy way to prim the carb. get a cheep squeeze bottle at the store and put a couple oz of gas in it. hook a short piece of hose to the carb and use the bottle to add gas. you don't need much. you could also add a little to the line from the pump to the carb, but i've never had an issue with that if the pump is good.

ya, you don't want to over do it and wipe off the assembly lube too early. also
make sure you install the drivers side galley plug that does not reach all the way to the back of the block. if not you'll see pressure at the gauge, but it will be very low. View attachment 1715587747
HERE'S an older thread about oil plugs

Yea that plug is one I forgot to remove. I'm gonna remove it and clean it out really good and put it back in. I received the brush kit in the mail today that you recommended. Hopefully on my first day off I can get to cleaning on the block. I managed to get my oil pan cleaned after work today its ready for primer. Here is the timing cover and intake. I will take some better pics of the oil pan tomorrow
