Just to state the obvious ... are you sure you reinstalled the pump cam the
right way around ?  If you can spin the unit with the valve plug removed and
not get oil flow out the top, then I would suspect the cam is missing, or
the pump foot is not riding on it.

Flow but no pressure might be a broken/missing spring or ball in the
anti-return valve.

The pump runs under oil, there should be no need to prime it.
