Thanks for that suggestion. I think I'll do that and make such a tool. I was finding that just turning slowly with a 3/8 breaker bar was moving lots of oil. It does have me confused though with the grooves all around the cam bearings that I didn't see it up the right side. Am I correct though that oil from the pump comes up and around the distributor housing to the RH oil gallery? MikeB, what is the significance of turning the crank 90 degrees and trying it again?

I put the hose out to the Rhubarb plant to get some water in the stalks for picking tomorrow. I take out the garden tractor to see it flow and decide to take a cut around the outside. Then I see a Hungarian partridge running away with a bunch of little ones following her. I abort the grass cutting and come in for a beer. I hope this makes sense after that beer.

Now that I can't cut grass maybe I'll find an old distributor at a junk yard and make a tool.
