It's ALIVE, sort of.

Did the last of my inspection today. I found that the 2 plugs at the front of the cam were not in. The cam retainer plate appeared to be flat using a straight edge. I put it back on and installed the oil pump and oil pan. Filled it with oil and tried priming again. There was no oil going to the gauge but I noticed oil coming from the very front of the cam which told me that oil was getting to the cam. I unhooked the sending unit for the oil pressure gauge. Spun the priming rod again and voila oil coming from the sending fitting. I believe my biggest problem all along has been a bad sending fitting for the mechanical oil pressure gauge.

How much oil (pressure wise) should come out of the sending unit passage?
