Default Oil Presure

Installed a new ported oil pump along with a cam. Put everything back together and no oil presure. I've dune everything I can think of even put the stock pump back on. Has anyone else had this problem?

the most common reply you'll receive is to check to see if the pick-up tube o-ring is seated properly, I know, I know, you just put everything back together. Also, is there any chance the oil sending unit was snapped off when putting the intake back on??

Did you pack the oil pump with assy lube? Sometimes you have to push oil back through it the opposite way it normally goes if it gets an airbubble in it.

Didn't remove the intake. I packed it with vasoline a few times, other than that how would you push oil back though it? How far down does the o ring go down on the tube?
