To use the tool, pull out the oil pump drive from under the distributor, insert the tool and use a reversible 1/2" drill to turn the oil pump with the tool (which is nothing more than a long hardened hex shaft designed to turn the oil pump). I usually slowly turn the motor by hand using a 1-1/4" socket and a ratchet. Here is a link to a Chrysler oil pump priming tool - https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-901013

I got it from a wrecked truck, but if I remember correctly it was like 150k. Motor was pretty gunked up on the inside and the cam bearings were pitted pretty bad so I ended up replacing them. I didn’t dig any deeper into the motor at the time, I didn’t have the skills or the funds.
