You definitely need to get an oil pressure gauge hooked up before running the engine again. There's a 't' fitting (supposed to be one) at the bottom half of the driver's side of the engine you can connect it to. I'll look for a picture.

You can also remove the 1/8" plug in the middle of the cylinder head to see if it's getting oil to that point. I remember (post engine disassembly) cleaning a LOT of gunk out of that orifice. This is completely independent of getting an oil pressure gauge, though.
