I have Chevy 350 in my street rod. I started it and had no oil pressure, I checked engine oil level ok.i I thought that oil pump was bad, I replaced the oil pump, put new oil filter on (put filter on dry). Filled with 5 quarts of oil
I then started engine and no oil pressure? Checked filter and it was full of oil,
so I know that it was pumping some oil. I pulled my distributor and borrowed
a shift tool that I put down distributor hole and would turn the oil pump. I put
a drill on the oil pump shaft and ran it for several minutes, but still no oil
pressure? I had not ever had any problems with oil pressure before. I am not
sure what to do next? The new oil pump, the new pink up tube was pressed
in at exactly the same angle as the one I replaced. The engine is a 350 that is
a 1970's era. Looking for suggestions.
Thank you
