WHOA, slow down! The oil pump shaft will be wobbly because the hole it's in is large for clearance. Your drill probably won't reach it either. That's why I said to take apart a spare distributor and use just the main shaft to attach your drill to, and the end of the distributor shaft will reach & turn the oil pump shaft. I'm sure you can also buy a "pre-oiler shaft" from somewhere like Summit. Also, remember to turn the shaft counterclockwise when checking oil pressure.
