Prime new rebuild

Just rebuilt 350 ready to prime it . What direction do I spin the oil pump shaft ? Clockwise or counter clockwise ?

Since that's at the bottom of the distributor and the distributor turns CCW, that's what I would do.

CCW indeed.

Do yourself a favor and secure the socket to the extender so it doesn't drop into your oil pan. Been there, done that.

Both of the above are good advice.
