I'm still a little confused on the whole taking the distributor out and priming the pump from there?...wouldn't the gears on the distributor just not turn because of the camshaft?...and I'm assuming that the oil pump is actually driven by the distributor then?...

Edbo; it's a brand new filter too, nothing has ever been run before, and no, I'm not running a cooler or a remote filter...

Sharpe; the engine never had oil pressure at all...

I think that either way I'm going to end up pulling the pan and taking a look so I think I'll just skip all the "testing" procedures and put in a new pump, pickup etc. just to be on the safe side...

Thanks for all the help everyone you've come through yet again!
