So now you have oil to both heads correct?

  

combination bad pump (which was new) and then no oil to the head was "foreign matter" in the cam bearing groove.

Well I havn't been around awhile because I was thoroughly aggrevated. The engine came out again, because it was a bad oil pump (although it was new), but then even with amazing oil pressure,no oil to the right head, which was why I rebuilt in the first place. The rebuilder says there was something blocking the oil ring on the cam bearing. Sooooo, i got it home and drove it finally, only to find my rebuilt 94 carb was leaking like crazy, so i tried the center carb from the tri power i bought on ebay (carbs sure did look nice), carb was unuseable. I give up, tomorrow I order a blue thunder intake, and here are my questions:

I have a fresh 272, 040 over with and Isky E4 cam,

What carb should I use? in terms of cfm?

And as far as throttle linkage? some sort of cable setup?

I want to drive this thing !!!!!

Do you have one of those oil filter adapters from canister type to conventional oil filter, if so, check and make sure the hole/holes is at the top.

It is an auto meter oil pressure gauge, and it does work with the drill , can watch the oil come up the tube with the drill and i get a reading.

changing the crank position has a no change effect.

yes i turned it counter clockwise.

the distributor is new, (msd) , and i checked the fit with a new oil pump rod.

The filter is a Motorcraft FL1a,

Did you ever check the bypass valve to see if it is sticking open? Or maybe it's the seventh fetzer.  I'll hang up and wait for your answer.
