My daughter had one collapse on a 3.1 Chevy. It was a nice car 'til then. Looks like you don't try to skrimp on anything.

My 360 in my van used to tap when cold right after I rebuilt it. And low pressure on the gauge running a Melling HV pump. I switched to a Pure and the problem went away.

You have it right...
The only thing I would do different is to install the tube so it is on the "leading" (lead-in) side of the OP gear, instead of the exit side.
(2:00 position instead of the "9:00" location)
The 1:00 to 3:00 clocking position, combined with the direction of gear rotation, will quickly pull the "feed-in oil", right into the gear mesh contact area.

And yes, now I do all my "performance" oil pumps this way. (easier, faster & more effective then the "bolt-in" oiler tube method I have used in the past)
Below is a photo showing where the first hole is located. Use a long shank, 1/8 drill and angle the hole as "steep" as possible, into the shaft bore. I look for the drill point, left from the relief valve bore machine work and use that spot as a place to start drilling.

Nice video...
Are you worried that the stream is hitting the back-side of the fast moving gear teeth and deflecting off?

One "trick" is to slightly crush or deform the end of the delivery tube so you get more of a "fan" spray of oil, instead of a well formed stream.

I just finished a 7/8 cast iron pump for a member so I took some additional photos of it.
Actually brazed the tube down to the pump on this unit... it's not going anywhere.
You can see two exit holes if you look closely at the end of the tube.
Also took a shot with a "spray" of WD-40 down the feed hole, just to show the delivery.

doug i had a chance to pull the pump and use a flat chisel to flatted the tube end. it seem to have more oil in the gear, i might just have to redo another housing and change the outlet location. http://youtu.be/2PihBgycTY4
