The new long block is installed in my 1993, GMC C3500
and ready to rumble...
I know that you need to "prime" the Oil pump.
I know that you stick a drill with a 5/16 socket onto
the Oil Pump Shaft (Big Allen shaft) under the Vacuum
(Distributor?) cover and spin it until you get pressure.
Any tips on this?
I know that you need to "prime" the Fuel Injection
pump.
Any tips on this?
Any tips on anything else?
TIA.

I have always packed the oil pump with Vaseline. That will prime the pump(no air).

It will pull that trailer no problem, however do not tow in overdrive, or you will ruin your tranny.
