This is a newly rebuilt 292. The oil pump is NOT the high flow pump, with the extra height. Tried to start it up for the first time this morn, was successful, till I saw the oil gushing from the oil filter. I tightened down the oil filter (cheap Penzoil for break in) which did no good since the gasket was already gone. I replaced the oil filter with a Fram, it lasted a few seconds longer. The mechanical oil gauge screwed into were the oil pressure gauge fitting usually goes is pegged at 80 pounds. I'm thinking the pressure relief valve in the oil pump is not working. I'm hoping someone has a better idea than dropping the oil pan and replacing the oil pump.
