1958 Dodge

What if it's not just the valve train? Crank and cam getting oil?
That's what I'm wondering. I'm betting the priming rod is different for a small block Mopar, which I think would work with this 325, and I have a bb one.
Also, not sure if you need to turn the crank like a bb during priming.

I'm not completely against starting it and checking for oil being pumped around, just not sure how it flows.

I will see if the dizzy will come out easy, but I don't think I have anything to prime it with, handy anyway.
