Most common one missing is the left rear lifter galley plug. It sits right in front of the distributor drive gear.

but my filter is not even getting oil.
The filter should be as full as possible.

I have all oil plugs in. I am thinking that the air space between the pump and filter is suspect. I will backfill and reattempt.
I don't even have 1/2 lift, but the other 1/2 is nitroused.

Update: I removed the filter and turned the pump clockwise. No oil was produced. I tried back priming from the oil filter and tried priming with no result. If it helps, the priming rod has about 5-6 inches of bubbly oil on it when I am done.

That is quite odd, you should get oil pressure within a seconds of priming. I usually pack the pumps with vaseline, but either way there should be pressure in system after abit of priming, there seems to be another problem. Maybe pump to cap there's oil bleeding by/ blockage or something of that sort. Is the engine still out of vehicle?
No, I have allready reinstalled it. Also, when priming I feel the freewheeling then a bit of resistance, but nothing else occurs.

After reviewing my assembly charts, I think one of the rear internal plugs are missing. I recall plugging the block just after taking it off the stand, but do not recall if I got the internal galley plugs. I will pull the engine and confirm. Thanks guys.

a plug between the pump and the filter which only leaves the one that can be accessed through the vertical orafice directly under the sending unit, correct?
As you know it gets driven up the main oil vertical passage from the pump in the rear saddle under the main cap & it needs to b a certain distance up in the block & b between the 2 horizontle "out" passages to the filter & there's a slight recess there for it to seat. You have oil in the pan/pump works/you can feel it catching it's prime w the drill (CW). Sumpin's blocking the flow between pump and bottom horizontle out gallery as the filter is not even getting anything. EDIT take off the sending unit & stick a wire straight down in & see how much depth you have and have a helper shine a light into the lower horizontle passage & see if you see light looking down from the sending unit
