OIL PUMP INTO OIL PRIMER
I was looking at purchasing an oil reservoir tank type oil system primer but thought there might be another way. I had just rebuilt an early SB Ford and still had the old school aluminum oil pump. It was very easy to cut off the mounting neck. Both the newly exposed intake port and out port were the perfect size to tap for 1/4” pipe thread. The I outfitted it with some fittings and hydraulic hoses. I shortened the old hex drive shaft and can now spin it up with drill motor. It’s easy to suck oil out of a jug, with no mess.
