What does everyone use to prime the oil on an AMC V8?  Does anyone make
a
tools for this?

I use an old flat blade screw drive that I cut the handle off of and
insert the shaft in my variable speed
3/8 drill motor. 
I also use the same piece when I prime an I-6. 
I insert the flat blade of the screw driver in the slot that the oil
pump shaft has that mates with the bottom of the distributor and after
determining which way it should turn I run it until I see oil coming out
something in the head. 
I have also used it to shoot a stream of oil completely across the
garage when I forgot to screw in the oil pressure sending unit on the
last I-6 I rebuilt. 
Great toy!
