Sage advice:

When I pulled the plugs and cranked over my motor (6V starter in a 12V system), the motor spun over incredibly fast and oil pressure was almost instant.

If you don't get pressure after approx. 5-10 sec, shut 'er down and pull her out. If you don't, I'm afraid you'll just be doing damage.
