Or, to ask an obvious question, are you rotating it the right direction?     Dan McIntosh 1960 Impala Sport Coupe Street Metal Fabrications http://www.lowriderimpala.com       ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Blawkamp To: Dennis McGillis ; The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 9:34 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Pre-oiling a new SBC   I hate to say ,but now it sounds like there is a possile oil gallary plug lose or missing as a possible problem.  Tom B.  Grand Rapids, Mi.  ----- Original Message ----- From: Dennis McGillis To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 8:12 PM Subject: [Chevelle-list] Pre-oiling a new SBC Hi Guys,  I'm still fighting the pre-oiler wars with my new crate 350.  Several Chevelle List members helped me determine that a screwdriver shaft can't work since it needs a bushing to oil the upper galleries and valvetrain.  So I bought a Proform "66896 Professional Oil Pump Primer with Bushing" at my local Speed Shop.   Today I cranked it for a couple of minutes but still don't see any oil coming from the pushrod/rocker area.  Am I missing something?  It seems like it shouldn't be this difficult.  No, there is not a big pool of oil under the car.   Thanks, Dennis McGillis 1965 Malibu SS-350
