Someone who knows olds engines specifically should chime in, but tI have encountered engines that wont develop oil psi without the distributor in place so you need a specific tool or an old distibutoe with the gears ground off.

I like to use ATF in the cylinders as I think it penetrates better.

Regardong the belts and hoses, the smart play is to replace them now rather than gamble and end up doing it on the side of the road.


Olds will not build oil pressure with Dist out. If the Dist that drives an oil pump comes out with a gear on the end there will be no oil pressure with the dizzy out.

The idea of spinning the pump first is to make sure oil gets everywhere it can under pressure. I run mine until the drill motor gets too warm for comfort.
