Priming the Oil Pump 1971 Cutlass 350

When priming the oil pump should I get oil coming out of all valves. There seems to be a couplethat are not getting oil to come out. I dont know if that normal or maybe I didnt rotate the engine to a point where it would shoot oil from those valves. it is moving oil though. Should I be concerned or is this perfectly normal. I have attached a pic where you can see a couple that dont have oil on them.

Rotate the engine several times to complete the oiling process. I don't believe you have a problem. What oil pressure is showing when you turn the oil pump?
