Default oil priming problem

i got my motor all ready to be primed and i fire up the drill and get it goin but all it does is gargel and it seems no pressure is building up. i made the mistake of reverseing the drill and oil spilled out fro the oil housing. but what am i doin wrong that pressure isnt building up?

i moved my filter location, the headers where tight around it and didnt like the thought of trying to change the filter there.
so no oil is coming out the pressure sensor hole? are you turning it clockwise?

im goin clockwise but nothin is comin out the pressure senser hole. do you think maybe i need a better drill with more power or i noticed on the tool to prime the pump that thier is a lose piece that i cant get into the hole cause the hole where the gear pump goes into is in the way. i didnt think that had anything to so with it tho

if your oil pressure sensor is on the side then a plug goes there. at least on mine theres a plug. dont know what yr they changed to the back of the intake but the newer ones have.
