 But what did you do to prime the oil system once it was in the car?  I
 can't think of what you did could do for the oil system.  On the 8V the
 easiest way is to use a drill with a long screwdriver extension(or old
 distributor shaft) to prime the motor.

   An even easier way is to remove the coil wire from the distributor, crank 
the motor for about 10-15 seconds, stop for a few and repeat. Reconnect coil 
wire to distributor.
