Another week of the Triumph planned. This is the video my brother made. We did get the motor to start but no oil pressure.
I had made a stick to turn the oil pump with a drill the last time and we got pressure but a major leak at the canister oil filter stopped progress.
So, we pulled the distributor again and did the drill thing. This time running it much longer and it burped a large amount of air. So, in the morning we will try again and see if it drained back or not.
