Default Accusump questions

I am running a moroso oil pan with remote oilfilter housing. I ran -10AN lines for the lines on the oil pan to that housing. Now I am to the point of starting my car after 3 years of the new engine sitting in the car un-ran. I want to pre-oil the system before starting the car so I bought a Accusump. My questions are-

1. Which hole one the engine (the one towards the back of the block or the one in front of that closer to the front of the engine) that I hooked those AN lines to is the one I'd want to pressurize to pre-oil the engine?

2. How do I fill my empty Accusump up with oil? I know generally you'd hook it up to your car and let it fill with the cars oil pressure. Well I need that Pressure now to pre-lube the engine.

Any help or suggestions would be Greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hook the accusump to the rear galley, it will take a special fitting, I got mine from John at aviaid oil systems, 818-998-8991, I haven't figured out how to fill it yet. Possibly, fill the accusump with oil, then add the 40# air, nitrogen recommended, to the charge side with the valve closed, when the valve is opened it should send the 2qts. in the accusump into the rear galley, which feeds the cam galley and directly oils the bearings.
I also put oil directly into the oil pressure port where the oil pessure sensor is.

I just want to use one of the AN lines I already have ran to the remote oil filter housing. All i'll have to do is disconnect it from the oil pan or from the housing and hook it up to the accusump and put power to the switch. That'll get oil through out the engine as long as i hook it to the right port on the bottom of that oilpan. My main concern is filling the accusump. There has to be a way!
