Pulled the distributor and used a drill to prime the engine , Question, is oil suppose to shoot out of the gear shaft ? Been turning the gear clockwise p

Put the distributor back in ,set timing. Still seems to be a valve train noise ,shut it down .oil is up to level.filter is full of oil . Should I pack the gears with petroleum jelly ?and fill the oil filter neck with oil . Prior to this I had the front cover off changed the water pump,timing chain & gears. Should I pull the oil pump assembly apart and check the valve etc. Suggestions ?
If I remember correctly when I primed mine, I didn't see oil shooting out of the shaft gear but definitely felt resistance on the drill when the pump was primed and pumping oil. At 1st the drill will spin freely and when oil is pulled in you will feel resistance. Did that happen when you were priming the pump?
Not really Kurt.
I’ll give it another shot
Thanks for everyone’s response, it seems like it’s solved ,took off the valve covers, and even pulled the oil pressure switch ran the drill for a good 10 minutes finally oil shot out of the switch port and oil is bleeding out of the rocker arms . Just waiting on some Bill Hirsh paint to paint and put it all together, paint is on BACKORDER … they said 4-6 weeks! that’s ok, We are at the end of our cruise season up in this part of the states.

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year , There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A What is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks
