Bob,
Success! Vaseline did the trick. Cranked about 30 seconds and pumped oil from
the open flex line to the gauge.
Those front 5 oil pan bolts were fun. I think the guy that designed that
arrangement was the same engineer that designed the rear motor mount.
I had tried pumping oil into the oil gallery to prime the pump but didn't have
any luck. Hence the removal of the pan and dismantling of the pump to pack it.
Found nothing wrong with the assembly.
Thanks to all for the advice. If there's a next time, I'll know better.
Best,
Ed
