Dear Brian, Thanks for the help, again. I pulled the crank pulley, gear cover, and the intermediate gears so that I could spin the auxiliary shaft, and fairly quickly got oil pressure.

It's the style with the holes around the edge, and inside the cover towards the top there's most of a steel sheet welded to the cover. It looks like a baffle to keep oil ...
