Help to identify these old engine building tools
Trying to downsize and organize. Found these parts and tools but not sure what I'm looking at. Could use help identifying a couple things.
* Long black rod. Is that a tool to prime oil pump, or an actual engine part? I once had a big block and I'm wondering if this is a drill mounted oil priming rod for BBC.
* Short black rod. Tool or engine part? Maybe another drill mounted oil priming rod for SBC? I know inside the box is a SBC oil pump drive and it looks different.
* Silver thingy is a custom made tool I had made a loooong time ago. I think it is a tool to install pick-up tube in the oil pump with SBC engine. Is something like this a readily available tool today or is it still a DIY type of thing like it was in the 90's?
I know what the other stuff is.

Re: Help to identify these old engine building tools
Long rod - oil pump priming tool. But it's almost useless. It needs to have a distributor lower housing to complete the pass bank llifter oil gallery.
Like this:
Shorter black shaft - intermediate shaft between oil pump and distributor.
Home-made silver thingy - yeah, I can see that being an oil pickup installer tool.
