We disconnected the line and hooked a pressure gauge direct to the block. With the car running there is no pressure to the gauge not even a flutter. When the car is running it makes a terrible and consistant clanging sound but its hard to tell where its coming from. My brother said that he did not notice any power loss when it occured at half track but on his way back to the pits he noticed it clanging and put it on the trailer right away. So after he got it home we tried the pressure gauge on the block and changed the oil pump still no pressure. The motor is out of the car now cause he had plans for a new setup anyways but we were just wondering if was an easy fix then it would go in another car.
