[Spits] Oil Pump Priming-Maybe a dumb question

["Daniel Parrott" <parrotthead01@comcast.net>]

I'm getting ready to fire up the engine in my Spit 6 Project car and was
about to use a drill to prime the oil pump.  I removed the dizzy and found
the gear, still mated to the cam shaft.  I guess I need to remove the gear
and lower shaft to get to the upper end of the oil pump.  True?  Is there a
special Triumph-specific oil pump priming tool to attach to the oil pump?

 

Making sure I don't make a dumb mistake. (again)
