On my 350, spinning the pre-luber with an air ratchet (drill chuck wasn't large enough for the pre-luber hex shaft, had to use a socket), I spun it for about 7-8 minutes until I had flow up ALL of the pushrods. A couple of them were kind of stubborn, but if you spin it long enough, you should have flow to all of the rockers. I also took a squirt type oil can and coated all of the valve train before buttoning up the valve covers.
