Scott- I pull the drive gear off my max wedge engine every spring to prime 
oil pump.  It should be removable by removing the distributor then turning 
the gear counter-clockwise to walk it up the cam gear.  Then grab it with an 
expanding type snap-ring plier or soemthing similar and remove it through 
the distributor hole in the block. You can then use a hex Mopar oil pump 
priming shaft with a 5/16 socket on a speeder wrench handle ( I use 1/4" 
drive stuff) and turn counter-clockwise.  You will hear the oil begin to 
fill galleries then feel resistance.  Be careful to keep the priming shaft 
centered.  Do not let it drag on pump gear busing in block or you can damage 
the bushing as the priming shaft is hardened.  You can pump 20-30PSI oil 
pressure pretty easily with this method.  You will then have to re-install 
pump gear close to same orientation as it came out in to get distributor 
back in in correct orientation.  I mark distributor rotor to distributor 
body, distributor body to block and oil pump drive gear to block when I do 
this and am able to get distributor back in and very close to correct 
timing.
