Ok, so I can look up in the manual how to remove the distributor, but once I get the tool in there and spin the pump, how do I know if it builds oil pressure? Do I need to find a way to hook up an oil pressure gauge? I have electric and mechanical gauges (mechanical is most appropriate here I'm sure) but the only place I know to hook up is completely inaccessible in my car; I must disconnect passenger side engine mount and maybe drivers side too, jack engine, maybe unbolt fender or subframe or some shit.
Vatozone has loaner oil pump primer tool. Does this one look right?

I'll get compression tester loaner while I'm there and do that first. I've never done it but I pretty much know the procedure and have no questions. They don't have a leakdown tester, though maybe it's a decent enough excuse to hit up Harbor Freight. OTOH, NSIW to find TDC 6 times just for a go/no-go test...KISS.
