860 oil prime?

I have always had good luck on an N engine leaving the spark plugs out & spinning w/the starter & building oil pressure before starting a new engine. Does that work on an 860? Or do I need to pull the dist & turning the hex shaft w/a drill? I finally got this '55 860 together!
 
When I rebuilt my 860 engine, I primed it with my electric drill with a priming shaft for a small block Ford. It worked for my 860 as well with the distributor pulled.
 
Lynn, I have a shaft made just for that purpose in case you are interested. After thinking, Wander if I can find it? Want me to look tomorrow?
