my 272 is doing something real interesting twice now on the way to work its lost oil pressure the first time about 3-4 weeks ago then today. today i put a pressure gauge on it & 0 pressure i pulled the pump the drive shaft was in the pump i turned it by hand & it spat oil out so not the pump i got a socket to fit the drive shaft pushed it up into the distributor and tried to turn it not slipping in the dissy put the pump back in & i had oil pressure 45psi at idle same thing happened the first time only i pulled the dissy.

i know its between the dissy & oil pump but the shaft looks fine except for some wear marks each end its also 8 inches long is that the right length guys your help is most welcome as i would like to solve this before my engine with its new crank go bang.
