Last night I warmed it up, drove it a few miles and by the time i got back the gauge read 0 pegged at idle. Took off the filler cap and saw plenty of oil splashing the cams and a steady stream flowing down into the gallery. More oil splashed at 1000 rpm than at 500 rpm but the stream didn't change much.

I scoped out the sending unit to see how much time is was going to take and it looks awfully tight back there. This is best done from under the car right?

The attention to the oil pressure may have averted a potential disaster... see my post on fuel lines.

Thanks guys.

Tim
