The poor man's solution was to install a AN fitting on the oil pump (dry sump set up) and use an old soda type fire extinguisher filled with oil and charged with air. Worked great on the dry sumped cars anyway. It gave you instant oil pressure when the trigger was squeezed. Someone here could tell you where to install a fitting on a wet sump engine I suspect.
