Ok thanks guys! Jerry...I'll probably try what you suggested...cranking with the oil pressure gauge line unhooked, just so I can see I have pressure. One of those OCD things, you know. Sometimes it's no fun having those OCD's, but I think in the end it makes you smarter. Also...I learned something just then. So in other words, if the engine is running and I have oil at the rockers, I have at least 15 psi? That's good to know, but I recall before this "rebuild" the engine would have pretty low pressure when at a hot idle, but looking at the head with the valve cover off, there would still be oil coming out around the rockers. Maybe the gauge is wrong, because it was certainly showing less than 15 psi. Thanks again for all your help, everyone! It'll probably be next weekend before I get time to do anymore work. I just need to re-install the rockers, weld a crack in the exhaust manifold and install it, then install the carb, hook up the linkages, and she should be ready for the first fire-up!
