I need a oil-primer for a 351W

[Edbert]

I can buy one easily enough but don't see needing it often enough to BUY one. The ones for 289-302s don't work either, I already tried to use a buddy's. Anyone here have one they want to rent?

Or...does anyone know how to make one?

You can rent them at Auto Zone. I just returned one yesterday for my 351c, borrowed it in Feb, found it on my workbench.

You can also use a deep 1/4 drive socket that fits the hex ( 3/8ths? ) just make sure to tape the socket to the extension ( unless you want MORE parts in your motor LOL)

That might just work! I tried a 3/8 drive socket and it would not fit into the hole in the casting

I used a 1/4 drive deep 5/16ths to prime my 302. The socket is thin enough to fit down inside the pilot hole for the dist. shaft.

That's exactly what I use. I usually wrap a peice of electrical tape around the extension/socket. It gives me peice of mind

The socket/extensions/tape method works for a 351W too. I have done it a few times.

Geez...I thought all stangers knew that?

A late model Hall-effect distributor minus the gear works good too. they have a skinny rotor shaft that fits even the 3/8 drills.
