It's ALIVE, sort of.

Jack, I don't know if this helps, but we pulled the valve covers tonight on the 383 and found a bent push rod with the lifter out of the bore. replaced the lifter into the bore and threw a new pushrod in and presto. Pressure!
Good luck

Good to hear you got pressure in your 383. I wish I could solve my problem that easy. I have the intake off and all lifters are where they should be.

I am going to pick up a new gauge today and see if that is the problem.
