I'm sure that the number of rotations you've made to prime the pump is at least equal to those it takes the engine to normally build pressure. So a lot of effort for no gain. Yes, I do have an xpag engine, and agree that it takes a looong time to build pressure.
I would also like the car that you restored🤗
To see the cars we have restored look at our website - Registry. fromtheframeup.com/collections/registry

This was not staged. We have used many methods through the years, this is simplest and quickest. You can see the oil pressure came up in seconds.
