ok now I am lost. I corrected the rear cam bearing and all the others looked good. I put a stock oil pump on. checked and re lubed the mains. Hooked up the oil pump primer and getting plenty of flow out of the passenger side and next to none out of the driver side. the block has been boiled in castic lye. everything cleaned. what gives?

wont feed both lifter galleries without dist in place if you look down dist hole you will see oil bypassing lifter gallery

OMG I think Cannibal Chicken may have given you the answer. SBC rear cam bearing holes must line up with passages in the block to transfer oil to the lifter galleys. Pull the cam and check it out. On tha old 265's, there was a notch in the rear cam journal that did the job, guys would put in a newer cam and get the same symptoms you describe.
