| Has fuel pressure, voltage, etc but no start
Today on the way home after shifting to 2nd to 3rd aroudn 3500 rpms, the engine just cut right out. Batt voltage is good, fuel pressure at key on is 42psi, new plug wires, plugs, etc. I've put 640 miles on a new 383 build I did this winter. Funny thing is no oil pressure at startup. I run the OEM 91 oil pressure sending unit and tee off that for my autometer oil pressure gauge (redundant gauges). Both read zero at crank. I've tested compression on all cylinders and they are all betwee 160 and 175 psi. I'm at a loss.
Should I mark the dizzy and pull it to make sure the oil pump driveshaft isn't in 2 pieces?? I mean, I could pull the dizzy, prime or try to prime the pump with a drill and read the gauge I guess but looking for some opinions before I have to pull the distributor. I've got a HSR and pulling the dizzy isn't that much fun with everything intact. | | |
