Welcome !!! The 70' Duster is my favorite "A". I hope you can get the pics up.....

 

[johnnydop]

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I am still working on my pics. I think the computer at work is the culprit. I will try again at home.
I trailered the car to my buddies the other night. I had zero oil pressure on my mechanical gauge so I figured my pump was shot. I put a new pump on it , still no pressure. We dropped the oil pan last night to check the pickup, cleaned the pickup and the pan. New oil, prime the pump with the priming tool ccw, still no pressure. rotate the motor 90, 90, 90, 90, priming each time for two-3 mins. no pressure. remove manual pressure gauge, prime with tool , oil oozes out of the sending unit hole, but no pressure. Any ideas?

Looking back through the post, I am located in Vass, NC, a little north and west of Ft. Bragg
