AMC V8 pre oiling tool?

[Ibby]

Is the pre oiling tool no longer available? I wanted to pick one up before firing up a 304 that's been sitting a few years.

Not enough sold. We took out 45 products and are eliminating more due to the lack of interest.

I made one out of an old points distributor. Remove the distributor drive gear and slide out the shaft, cut the aluminum housing just above where the hold-down sits. Cut the shaft just below the mechanical advance weights. I then ground 3 flats in a triangle in the shaft so a drill chuck wouldn't slip. If you have good pressure, it will make a 1/2" drill work pretty hard.
