oil pressure disappeared.

I finally got it back together. I adjusted the length of the pickup and placed a few small screws as spacers. I also added some side holes to the pickup. I should never have this issue again. I did also pull the distributor and inspect the cam and drive gears, the shaft as well. I replaced the oil pump and Vaselined it. I primed it with a drill motor and pressure immediately. I will also be installing an oil pressure gauge on the steering column for a bit and then may relocate later, but it is a nice Mopar branded autometer gauge, so it may stay.
