When I last installed an oil pump I primed it using an adapter I made that you operate using an electric drill in reverse after removing the dizzy drive gear. I will use that again to build pressure before starting the engine.
With any luck and good weather I will finish the remaining plumbing and wiring tomorrow. If I am really lucky I will get the chance to start the engine and run it for the cam bedding 20 minutes.
