Help!!! Oil pressure problems!
95 ta with a 355 lt1 about 3400 miles on the motor and this morning the oil pressure is a zero no matter what I do (pick up the revs, add oil, restart the car) it makes no noise when running an runs absolutely fine. What could it be?

I checked the level and it looked a little bit low but not enough to make a difference where my gauge literally reads below 0. I just added a bit of oil. Should I take off the valve cover to see if the rockers are getting oil? Cause then it would just be a bad sending unit problem right?

If the o/p sensor was unplugged, the gauge would be pegged. If the wire to the gauge was grounded out, it would read zero.
Verify pressure with a mechanical gauge. If no pressure, it might be the o/p drive (under the intake). What pump did you put in 3400 miles ago?

if it infact doesn't have any oil pressure dont run the thing you will wind up with big issues..........hopefully you havent already.....3 seconds of no oil pressure is enough to wreck stuff...........get a mechanical gauge put it on and just crank the car with the coil unplugged.....see if it builds pressure........if not you got a mechanical issue.......

A friend of mine ran his engine when the oil pump drive broke for over 30 seconds at idle and it isn't making any noise. I'm sure the bearings were scored a little tho.
On my old engine i lost oil pressure countless times due to the pickup being off, and i drove the car over 20,000 miles without a pickup on it. Just couldnt dump the clutch or really slam the brakes hard.
Sounds like your oil pump drive.

I will state that I think the Advance actually works fine for me.
