I've seen a couple different ways to do this.

1- Take a old oil pump drive shaft and cut the teeth off the drive gear then have a shaft with a slot on it to hook up to your drill.
2- Take the drive shaft out and get a priming shaft that goes direct to the pump from the drill.

OIL PUMP PRIMING SHAFT
Special hardened steel priming shaft fits on any 3/8" or larger drill. Insert shaft into hole where distributor fits. Pressurizes oil galleys to ensure against dry starts and ruining your engine.
