My new pump does seem to be binding, certainly isn't smoothe. It does give good pressure when I manually wind it. Should I continue using it?
It would be an expensive fix because I'm down under.
Does the oil drain out of the pump if it is not used for a few weeks?
I filled the oil filter, and the rocker shafts.
Any ideas??

I should have said a 1/4 deep socket - a regular 1/4 socket may not work as noted above. In addition. it has to be 1/4 drive to keep the slim socket.

Charlie, good information. I was not aware of these.
Thanks Cliff, I am not to far from you. I'll give you a call one of these days. Never thought about a pre-luber. I googled engine pre luber and there are lots of options for building your own.

Ted, can you elaborate on the problems detected using a speed handle verses a power drill?If the oil pump gears are not meshing smoothly or there’s a light binding taking place, this can be detected much easier when turning the pump over with a hand driven speed handle. Some of those oil pump issues do not show up when using a hand drill to prime the engines. I’ve found issues with several new and out of the box oil pumps while turning them over by hand that would have gone undetected if using a power drill instead. I sort of preferred using my "speed handle" .
It was very easy, and turning by hand, I was able to produce about 50 PSI.

One more vote for the old dizzy with a nut welded to the shaft as that is all I use now. I used to use a 1/4" drive bit until it came off once and ended up in the lifter valley, I had to take the intake off to get it out. Sorry if you don't have an old distributor to use, but it is well worth it to find one.
