Fellow abodies, I am in need of some guidance. I am restoring my fathers 70 Duster. He bought it when I was 2. Unfortuneately he passed away in 2004. I have had it stored since then. I brought the car from his place to mine , once home I cranked it up and let it run for a minute. I had zero oil pressure so I shut it off.
I brought the car out of storage this past fall and have been getting it ready to ride with the thought that I had to replace the oil pump. Well, I did that and still no O.P. I dropped the pan and checked the pickup, no problems there. I primed ccw with an electric drill. Still no pressure. I removed the sending unit and put a manual gauge in , tried the drill still no pressure. lastly I remove the manual gauge and tried the drill, the oil just oozed out of the sending unit hole. Seems like it should have squirted out.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
Johnny Dop
