A cheap priming tool I made years ago is I cut the gear off a stock la oil pump drive, and welded an la push rod to it.
It cost me nothing but I have used it for over 20 years.

thats a good idea, i will be making my own soon as well. i think summit has them for 10 bucks plus shipping, but im cheap lol
