    Finally got oil up to the right side, I ended up taking the restrictors out and just using plugs. It took about 15 minutes for the oil to show up while priming it then another 5 minutes or so to feed all the rockers. Put the motor back in the car and started it, checked valve covers and I have oil now for sure. I called world products to see if they had and suggestions and the tech guy was appalled I was using restrictors because he said those blocks don't need them but they sell them? When I take it out for the first time I will keep an eye on the pressure to see if it pumps all the oil to the top. Thanks Jerry and Pat for your recommendations
