Autozone usually has it. Make sure you get one with the collar that simulates the distributor shaft so that you get oil to both lifter banks. Part number OEM27060 at Autozone.

Car has been stored for 20 years and hasn't been started during the last 3 so I'd rather spend a couple bucks and make sure I get the proper tool since I maybe using it several times.
I checked pricing Steve and it looks that Autozone sells it for $30.00. I will check stock later on although I though they were a bit cheaper.

There is no stock (autozone) at the store closest to where I'm staying at do you have the part # for the one at Napa? I can't seem to find it online under the search feature. Yes I could phone it in but was trying to aviod the "please hold" and using up long distant charges from Canada to the States.

I live in Canada and there are no Autozones in Ontario.
The scrap yard wants $40.00 for an old distributor, therefore it would be cheaper to purchase a priming tool.

As you probably already know, the States has 10 times the population that Canada does, therefore most likely 10 times the amount of auto parts stores. The do have a loan out tool but small block oil priming tools don't seem to be that popular anymore thefore most stores don't have them to loan out.
As mentioned in an earlier post, they want more for a distributor than the oil priming tool itself.

When we were kids we used a big screwdriver with the handle cut off and an electric drill, spin it a little and turn the crank and spin it again, many a little screamer and nary a spun bearing or damaged cam

How can that be so,,,,if you turn the pump then sooner or later it all will get oiled, who cares what turn's the pump, as long as it is turned.
