With the distributor out, place a deep 1/4 socket on a long extension & place it on the oil pump drive shaft. Hook up a drill to the extension & prime in 'reverse' rotation.

I tape the socket to the extension to prevent it from falling into the pan. Had it happen once.

For 30 seconds after you see full pressure. This will lubricate the valve train, not just the bearings.
