Default No oil pressure

We have a 428 Big Block Ford engine with remote oil filter/cooler, on a brand new rebuilt motor. There is no pressure reading on the gauge, but when I remove the hoses into the filter, I put them into a bucket and I get oil pumping while cranking. If I put my thumb over it I got the pressure. I hace tested the gauge and it does work. We ran it twice first 10 min then later (awhile) 15 min, The water temp went to 190 and help and the motor did not seize. How can we prove that the oil is getting every where
it needs to go.
