hey all...new to the forum cuz i was searching oil pressure woes...
I had a 350 rebuilt and received it as a short block. New high volume pump etc.
It has a remote filter and i'm priming it with a modified distributor.
After 2 X 20 minute attempts, spinning the pump extension shaft clockwise, I'm not getting any oil to the OPSU or top end at all, it is getting a tonne of pressure at the filter (i pulled filter and gave the drill a spin).
I dropped a welding rod into the opsu passage to see if that plug was in there. I read that if you measure 8.5" or less, plug is in. I got 8.5 exactly.
I'm scratching my head here...any ideas?
