I let is sit for two days primed with the Baldwin filter. The first video is trying to prime it with just the starter, which is never does. The second video is after I pulled the distributor and hit it full tilt with the drill (600 rpms). It seems to take 3-4 second for it to build pressure.

I have the check valve in hand, so do I need to go ahead and install the check valve or is the 3-4 seconds an acceptable situation?



As a side note, I also found a better way to get the intermediate shaft in and lined up easier, all I did was cut a bigger chamfer on the end of the intermediate shaft. Once I lined up the pump, I could then get the shaft to slide in much easier.
