SLant, remove the dist, put a piece of 1/4 or 5/16 hex stock in a drill, and turn the pump. That way you won't spin a bearing and have to replace the entire engine if it doens't have pressure.

Just curious Pfogle, what's your opinion of Fram based on and what do you recommend instead? I've been using them for 14 years, on four different vehicles including my E150, and I've not blown a motor yet. One went over 200,000, one is about to hit 200,000, and the other two hit the 150,000 mile mark. I've been told that there is not a lot of difference between the various filters out there.
