Even if my sending unit was bad wouldnt I see some oil to the rockers by now? It ran for a minute, then we have been turning it over with no coil packs and the rockers are STILL bone dry!

I never really see much oil pumped up top at idle...there should be some after running that long though.

I would of guessed front oil galley plug. Was the rear engine cover (what the rear main seal rides) removed? There is a rear plug in the back cover that slips in with an o-ring as well.

Well the front plug is in for sure. The rear cover was removed. I guess after I check the pick up tube, I am going to check the rear cover. I guess these are my only two options???

Ok I have the rear cover off the block. There are two holes on the top of the block and one on the left side toward the bottom. Where is the plug supposed to look like? Anyone got any pics of the rear of a block with no cover? HELP ASAP!!!!
