Disconnect the coil wire, remove the spark plugs and crank the engine until your get oil pressure. If you don't get pressure then pull your oil pump or find a way to prime it. It can be primed through the sender port by forcing oil down the sender port (sender removed of course). I use my trusty turkey baster for that.
