Oil Priming on a 340
A few years ago I had my 340 rebuilt, I’m now finishing up restoration on the rest of the car and will be needing to prime the oil on the engine. Normally on a non mopar, I would pull the distributor and hook a drill to the oil pump shaft that connects to the distributor. I just realized that the Cam gear on this 340 appears to be connected to the oil pump shaft, see photo.
How are we to oil prime the engine for the first start?
thanks in advance
