Oil Pump rod.

Well I was pulling my distributor and out came the oil pump rod. I think I have it back in but you never know. So send me suggestions on what you would do. I was thinking of having the rod in and do the engine prime method to make sure i have pressure and everything is working.

If you drop the oil pump drive rod in from the top, and you can see the tip of it at the bottom of the distributor hole, you're fine. Put a 5/16 socket on it and turn it with an electric drill (COUNTERclockwise) and if you get oil pressure, you're done.
