You guys have mentioned the shape and angle of the feed line. Does mine look ok? I haven't really had any problems but it takes about 3 or 4 seconds to show oil pressure when I fire it up, but I don't know if that's just because of how long it takes the electric oil pressure gauge to react?
I have a habit of letting the motor turn over for about 5 seconds before hitting the ignition toggle switch just to get the oil moving but I don't know if that's good for a motor or not?
I've done this for many years with no problems but I'm always willing to learn.
The delay is probably the sender, that assuming your using a BB and your taking the pressure reading off of the back of the block, which has to fill all the oil passages up before making pressure
I wouldn't and don't spin the motor over on the starter any longer than it takes for the motor to fire, why do that
I know, it is a old Chevy racer trick
