My 408 which had great oil pressure (70PSI) when run on engine stand 5-6 months ago however I started it in car and only ran for about 20 seconds as guage was not registering anything. I took out dist and intermediate shaft and spun pump with drill and I cant get any pressure.
The only thing I have changed is it is now a remote filter with 12 inch hoses. After spinning with drill I removed oil filter and it was chockers full of oil. Emptied it and did it again and filter filled up again. Removed RH valve covers and rockers are dry. Do I need to run it for longer to get the pressure up. Where does the oil route from pickup and is the sender one of the last places that gets oil.
