I would pull the distributor and use a drill to prelube the engine. Without having a mechanical gauge who knows if it's actually building pressure. Even without a mechanical gauge you can usually tell that it's building oil pressure when the drill gets a load on it when it's pumping oil. No load, it's not pumping oil.

The first time I primed my 340, it was already in the car. I didn't know what to expect and really wasn't paying attention. When it started to pump oil, it spun that drill around and pinched my hand against the firewall. You will absolutely know if it's pumping oil or not.

Melling HV pump. It has always had instant pressure. Oil pressure wasn't the problem is was a no voltage problem. I didn't even think to notice the AF gauge didn't light up when I turned the key on. I can use it as my warning light. I'll try and remember to always look to make sure it's on before starting in the future.So far I haven't been able to produce the no voltage problem.

Check your electrical connectors for corrosion Condensation and temperature changes caused that from the moisture condensing on the unprotected wire ends and slide in connections Murphy loves us hot rodders I was thinking there had to be a bad connection in the bulk head or column since the oil gauges are on separate feed wires. The 1 is on the factory dash harness & the other is on the accessory spade on fuse box. Am I right to think that the feed to the acc. spade and the switched side of the dash fuse are the same??? That would explain way neither gauge worked. Thanks Mike
