FWIW, my BJ8 has the spin-on adapter that bolts directly to the block and it 
takes 2-3 seconds to register pressure 
after the engine fires (after several seconds of cranking on a cold day with 
full float bowls).

That is probably another advantage of this type of adapter; you don't have to 
pump oil up several inches to fill the 
filter (and a good filter should have an anti-drainback valve as well).
