I like your device, I did a similar post about a year and half ago with small block chevy oil pump to prime a Ls engine and got all the same response you did. Lets see the hands of people who did the fuse pull and coil pack unplug that did not get oil pressure because it has happened even if they don't come forward. Russian roulette.

If you don't get oil pressure from doing that, then something else is wrong because you aren't magically going to get oil pressure from priming the engine.

I do not have any pics in F-Bodies but here is a few others.
Silverado Mount
Silverado Oil Line "T" - Looks bad in this installation but will give you an idea of what can be done.
AMS-Oiler start up video. Caution: It is a Furd but will show good prestart pressure.
