I'd go with what 57 said. With someone running the drill, within 2 crank revolutions, you will find it.
It's pretty obvious when the cam lines up with the empty passage. You'll hear lots of slurping noises. Try it with the oil filler cap off.

Why not just use the starter (with the plugs out)? I use the drill to prefill all the passages and get pressurized oil into the bearings and passages, then drop the distributor shaft in and spin it with the starter until everything's wet. -Charles

After all the turning I take the rocker arms/lifters/pushrods back off & put more lube on the cam then reinstall the above.
