    Another Great way to prime the oil gallery’s on the Buick V6’s is to remove the distributor and they’ll be a shaft with a slot in it that is driven by the distributor via the cam. That drives the oil pump, either get a old socket and drill a hole through it to put a 1/4” pin through it welded on both sides of the socket to hold it in place and hook it onto a drill and turn it clockwise until the oil pressure comes up on the gauge or use a long regular screwdriver hooked up to a drill.
    Before you pull the distributor davide, pull the cap and mark where the rotor is facing so when you stuff it all back together you’ll be half fast close to having it on time to fire the old girl up.
    I’d run the drill for a while if your getting decent oil pressure.
    An old secret I learned from my engine builder when I raced with V6 Buicks.
