I replaced a lifter today in the mustang. So of course it involved me removing the upper/lower intake, distributor, etc. I get everything back together and everything is tapping twice as loud. I noticed the gauge (stock) was reading 0 psi. It was hooked up and everything. I then installed a brand new mechanical pressure pump, still nothing. I even left the oil pressure port completely open as an ultimate test to see if there was pressure. Nothing came out.


Now what in the hell would cause my oil pump to go from working fine before cracking into the motor, to being absolutely dead after putting it together? The only link between the oil pump and the shit I removed the motor was the distributor. The dist is setting down perfectly, without issue. The shaft IS in the right spot (didn't some how fall out or anything). I'm skurred n kunfyoozd. What the hell happened here? Anyone?
