Had an oil pump gasket leaking on the 440 in my pickup. Went thru an act of Congress to get the pump out. Someone used 4x4 motor mount brackets that capture the pressure spring cap, so you can't just drop the oil pump. Anyway, I went with a brand new pump and like a dummy didn't pack the new pump with Vaseline like I usually do. This is my daily driver, so I was in a hurry to get it up and running. Never even put oil in the pump so it would prime. Therein lies my problem, can't get the pump to prime. I have a priming tool but , can't get it to suck up oil. Any suggestions,(other than get a clue) would be appreciated.
