iagree
Do not forget the BB distributors / oil pump drives rotate CCW.
If you cannot get oil pressure, next step is to remove the valve covers and look for the potential problem. IE: broken rocker, other valve train issue that may have allowed a lifter to exit its bore. Next stop, Oil pump itself. DO NOT start the motor until the issue is identified. The drill motor is your friend twocents
