I know it is a hex shaft since I put it together, 1964 292. I thought someone may have replaced a pre '57 distributor and had a Loadamatic sitting around collecting dust. The 1/4 hex rod is a good idea but then I would have to pull the oil pump shaft out and put it back in. I thought about using a 1/4 socket glued to a shaft. I have one for a 5/16 oil pump shaft. I guess I could find some 1/4 square rod and glue or weld a 1/4 drive 1/4" socket to one end. Thanks.

Someone makes a flexible drive for a cordless drill with diffrent tips, I have one. You can chuck it in your drill and use a tip to get you to a hex drive.

I was looking thru a local tool store and found an 11 inch long drill driver with a 1/4 inch drive end that will fit on the oil pump shaft. It is about the same length as the distributor without the cap. It is made by Vermont American. Should do nicely for primng the oil.
