I was shopping for a cheaper tool, just cause US exchange kills my wallet converted in Canadian funds.. anybody know if this could be used on AMC engines...

basically if your going to use that you may as well use a screwdriver end. If it doesnt fit the timing cover or stay on the oil pump drive gear shaft it will cause problems.

I knew you were going to say that.. now, I have no other option but to get the one you make.. :? I'll wait a few weeks, till I have fully absorbed the cost of the timing cover.. It shouldn't be much for shipping, I figure that thing is pretty light...

I will not push my goods generally, but i can tell you that sometimes priming that pump can be tricky, ive done about everything wrong i could priming that sum gun. broken screwdrivers, smoked drills, gouged pumps, ran them backwards before...everything... :!: thats why i invented the tools, it isnt really a new idea either

I made my own out of a junkyard distributor. I removed the distributor gear, cut the housing just above the hold down boss, and cut the shaft just below the mechanical advance weights. Ground 3 flats in a triangle on the shaft so the drill chuck wouldn't slip. I used it today. My new 390 came up to about 70 PSI using a very low speed 1/2" drill. Get to drop it in this weekend. :? :t:
