Best way to draw a prime is to put a long screwdriver blade (no handle) attached to an electric drill down into the oil pump drive slot (distributor removed). I actually use a distributor that has the top cut off without the cam gear, and just attach the drill to the shaft, but the screwdriver works pretty well too.
Only other option is to pack the inside of the pump with light grease, but that would require pan removal and I doubt you want to do that!!
Many pumps are replaced because of low pressure but the cause is generally a bad bearing...If that's the case you may find it difficult to prime.
