Always love the Red X when someone asks a question, because they don't know, and don't like the answer!

Mancini for hex. 45yrs ago took the proper hex hex cut into two pieced. Got a piece of 3/8"steel log enough to reach oil pump and be out of Distributor hole 4". ground 3/8"of more of hex to fit inside each end of tube. Brazed them to tube. Crude but worked.'69 Charger 383 HP: Body has been under restoration since August 2022. Meanwhile, engine was rebuilt and returned to me in March 2023. Until it is reinstalled, engine rebuilder recommended periodically oiling the engine via the oil pump drive under the distributor using a drill motor. I was unable to find a hex rod to accomplish that approach, so I installed the starter, starter relay, spare ignition switch and an external battery. Two quarts of oil and ZDDP additive are in the pan. With the plugs out, I spin the engine 10 or so revs once a month. Is this setup adequate to keep the engine sufficiently oiled until reinstallation?

Ah, but it is...Just in case you thought the red X was mine..... it wasn't.
Well you can go back and "un click" it.. and remove all doubt! Thanks!I'm using a laptop and I don't have a smart phone to scroll on. If I hit that red X, it was inadvertent. I certainly didn't intend to click it, so sorry if I did.
Not here he isn't...and now we're a sale thread! JHC...
