Aiken: By the way, since we're discussing this subject. I went to autozone looking for a primer shaft that would fit this hex rod and got into a conversation with a kid working behind the counter. ( Who was absolutely fascinated that a big block v6 ever even existed.)
He told me that he gets chewed out for doing this by coworkers and some mechanics but his method of priming a motor is he just takes the valve covers off and pours oil all over on top of the rockers and everything else and let's it seap down. At first I thought oh great now that I spend about a week or so learning all about distributor removal etc. etc. And building a small scaffolding set up so I could to see and work way back in the engine compartment he tells me this quick,cheap and easy engine prime method. I'm just curious is that an effective method to do this also?
