Thanks, but I kind thought about that. I didn't hear ticking from the lifters. I pulled the gage line, no oil flow, but that can be kinked, plugged, whatever. So I pulled the oil filter, dry. I also pulled a valve cover before shutting it off for good, no flow to the valve train at all. This is all before I pulled the dizzy to make sure the drive on it was good. It was, and I had checked it before I installed it.
If anyone has any idea why there would be aboluetly no flow from the pump, other than a damaged pump, please post. I can get a pump at advance auto (melling pump) for like $16. I just don't look forward to unbolting the mounts and jacking it up enough to slide the pan out. I've done it before and it's kind of a pain.
