What do you guys think of this:

Rob,
Get any kind of a pressure can and make your own for a lot less. And yes, spinning the pump with a drillmotor is cleaner and you can put a gauge in the gauge port and watch the lube oil pressure climb. Even better is if you are building an engine, prime it with the timing gear open (in our case that would be the cylinder head covers and the intake not yet in place) so you can see lube oil coming out of everywhere it needs to be.
Then there was the time a new, young, (so smart), builder went to use the prime tank. We still aren't completely sure how he did it, but he emptied the tank onto his tool box and some shop wall. The tool box dripped oil for a year, but the drawers worked great....

On many modern engines you have no choice but to use something like this. [LS1 for example]
Also, there are some engines that either won't build pressure or perhaps lose psi to the lifter gallery without part of the distributor to block it
I cant speak to Olds engines specifically though.
An old stripped distinutor with the cam gear ground off works well.
If you tee it off the oil presssure sender, its proabaly faster than pulling and retiming the distributor.
I agree that you can make one for much less [much like the brake bleeder that was discussed]

AND, some of the new motors have the oil pump on the front of the crank and
use a distributorless ignition, hence no distributor.
Hot Rod Magazine had an article on building a primer for them sing a small
bucket, an old style oil pump driven by a drill, I believe,
and some fittings and hose. I'm glad I'm a dinosaur.
