No oil pressure after reconnecting oil cooler lines

tube does look fragile. I must have knocked it loose. I like the idea of upgrading from the plastic. The place that has been recommended above is only 1/2 hr. away. Simple job to replace? If I remove the oil filter and crank the engine with the coil disconnected oil should pump out of filter housing if I have oil pressure?

I would buy a cheap oil pressure gauge at your local parts store (less than $15) and hook it up to the oil pressure outlet on the block. A local mechanic might even lend you one. Then crank the engine. If no oil pressure shows on the new gauge, you have other problems. my bet is you cracked or knocked the stock tube loose.
