i finally did get the drivers side to dribble out some oil.  Every pushrod dribble enough to run stream back down.  3 of the passengers side finally did.  my little crappy ass 1/3 hp drill finally got too hot after about 10 minutes and i gave up for the night.
 
check out the new pics..  anyone like my oil pump priming system i rigged up.
 
oops forgot to upload..  uploading them now

I did like the "automatic oil pump priming system"...pretty ingenious, if ya ask me!    
Would that be a Mr. Gadget item, or McGyver?
I guess it worked tho, eh?

Looking good, Ben....looking good!
