Mopar Performance sells an oil priming shaft for about $5 that you put
in an electric drill. You remove the distributor, put the shaft in place,
and run the drill. The next best method would probably be to disconnect
the coil wire and crank over the engine. (Of course, using that method,
all of the internal parts in the engine are moving so there will be some
wear if they are not already lubricated, but arguably, its better than
just starting the engine.)
