I'm not bashing anyone here, but I would think that a 331 (even with 9:1 comp) with a set of 185 AFRs, good cam, etc. should be better than 13.5-13.7 @ 103. The zero oil pressure thing isn't good either. Hopefully you'll get her diagnosed and be able to get running strong.

Not to add salt to the wound, but my stock suspension, stock bottom end 302 LX has gone 106 a few times on drag radials, with very mild cam (put in wrong at 4 degrees retard), engine bearings about shot, fuel washing down two of the cylinders and some other stuff. This is meant comparison purposes, i.e. your 331 should be faster.

Good luck,
E
