You can use an old Chevrolet distributor with all of the guts out of it. Just keep the shaft and distributor body intact. Weld a piece of a cut off allen wrench to the top of the distributor shaft to spin the pump with your electric drill motor. Or you can buy the tool from Summit that's what we have and I don't think they are all that expensive. It will also work with a big block when you build a couple of them LOL. Good Luck.
