iirc someone mentioned that Lowes has a paint stirrer rod that is a 5/16" hex but it might not be long enough (iirc). If you have a junk intergear you can grind the teeth down on your bench grinder & the teeth are soft & grind down pretty fast. EDIT then a speed handle/screwdriver bit

They are Indy 440-sez. I pulled the distributor and the shaft, the shaft looks fine, Its not stripped. I had to order a priming shaft, I should have it tomorrow? I'm gonna prime the hell out of it and see what happens, I will let you guys know.
you are a patient man!  I would been rigging up a cutoff screwdriver or something and really making a mess out of things!  kudos for doing it the RIGHT way...
Thanks man! I love the car and hate when its broke, but its March still and I have a 2011 Challenger in the garage beside the Road Runner. Its not worth screwing up the motor up over. Sadly the priming rod didn't come to today, I checked the tracking number and I should have it tomorrow.

Usually only takes 10 seconds or so, but I've had it take closer to a minute. If nothing after a minute you've got an issue.
Try loosening the oil filter and priming it. You should get oil coming out of where the filter mounts.

I ran it for almost 2min earlier, I loosened the filter and primed and almost immediately oil started gushing out, I re-tightened it and started priming again and I got pressure, and at first it made a lot of bubbling sounds from air, but I got pressure now. Thanks Guys! Could it of been air in the pump of something like that?

Yep. Your pump wouldn't prime.
It happens on occasion.
Good to know it was an easy fix.
