Since you are able to get some pumping action when using the drill I would
concentrate on the water supply or discharge side of the pump or something
wrong with the impellor key-way. It would have to be a significant gasket or
cover problem to let enough water bypassing to cause a total discharge
failure issue into the engine - although there might be something
constraining the impellor but you've proved to yourself with the drill that
it is capable.
I usually have to raise the antifreeze level ( from my bucket with hose ) to
above the waterline to get it all starting smoothly and reasonably rapidly
during the winterization - once started it pumps at capacity. Adding the
antifreeze through the raw water strainer works OK but I wasted the
antifreeze trying to keep the water level near the top ... wasting a bunch
down the bilge. The bucket/hose method feeds into the hose disconnected from
the strainer then flows to the pump. Can get a couple of gallons through in
less 30 seconds or so.

Ed,
Today I took the cover off the pump, polished the outside piece with
crocus cloth and then mounted it with the outside facing the impeller.
There was a noticeable ability for the pump to self prime.
If I could get the proper part numbers for the plate, gasket and cam I'm
sure my problem would be solved.
Bill
