Technical Suggestions for SBC oil priming tool

The title pretty much says it all, don’t have an old dizzy to cut down unfortunately
Thanks in advance guys !

 

Summit has these for $9 I think.

 

OOPS!.Looks like the price went up to $13.99.

 

Get the one with the bushing spacer so the oil goes to the right spots

 

Thanks Don, I’ve seen posts where guys have used a cheap ones and it didn’t lube both sides of the engine.
Want to avoid that !

Thanks @ wheeltramp, I guess as long as it has those collars they work properly.
Big difference in price between Speedway brand and ARP brand, any different between them if they have the collars ?

 

Tool with collar , amazon $11.99 , jegs $15 , eBay $21 , summit , basically
&12-$50 depending on where you shop , or , what's a scrap yard get for an old distributor ?

 

There are numerous ones on Ebay with the correct bushing to ensure you oil the top end too, and not just the crank bearings. I bought one there a couple decades ago for $12, and they're still under $20.

Thanks I’m thinking of getting the Proform 66896 about $22
First I’ll try to find an old dizzy at a junk yard

 

Any piece of steel that's over a foot long, and will fit in your drill chuck, that you can grind the end to a flat shape, will work. It won't be perfect, but it'll get oil to the bearings.

 

Thanks @squirrel, my concern is without the collar one side of the engine won’t get oiled.

 

one of the lifter gallerys won't get oil, but the bearings will. I used an old long screwdriver blade for years for priming engines before I made one from an old distributor.

If you're really worried about it, get a distributor and cut it up.

 

Thanks again

 

If you have a junk distributor, you can take the drive gear off of it and weld a stud to the rotor end. Chuck it up in a drill and go.
