Your pump is driven from the base of the distributor shaft, and that extension on the shaft may have broken but I doubt it or you'd have no pressure at all and would have trashed your mains & rod bearings pretty quickly. I'd pull the distributor and see how it looks, then while it's out get an adapter and spin the oil pump with a good drill and see what you get on your gauge. Rotate the engine by hand while spinning the pump and you should see oil at the rockers. If not you could have spun a cam bearing, blocking the port that flows oil to the top end.Last edited by rspears; 01-03-2012 at 12:31 PM.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

It would be nice if this up and down crap would cease.
