Got my engine all ready to go. The machine shop told me the oil pump was primed and just to take the coil wire off and turn it over until I see pressure. I did that and no pressure, I let the car run for a few seconds and no pressure. Now I have changed the guage from an electric (oem) to a mechanical. Mechanical is whats on it now. Should I dig out my old sending unit and try the factory one. It work before I pulled the engine. Theres not even any oil in the plastic line?
Thanks
