Very Low Oil Pressure in New Engine

maybe its in your pickup screen. how bizarre, i dont have an intake off any of my motors for comparison, but im pretty sure something is supposed to be there ?...great pics by the way..

It's possible, but the pickup was new (as was the pump and pan) and I did clean it anyway.

Damn phone takes better pictures than any camera I've owned. If only it could diagnose oiling issues...

I just went out to the garage and checked a 1970 and a 1982 318 block and they look like yours, there is no bridge in the rear.

Thanks, I just found this pic from the assembly. Phew!
