thanks andrew.
As promised here's the update. i started the engine and let her run. and i couldn't see any oil pressure my pressure light was going out on start up but the gauge was reading zero. So I checked everything i could think of and still no pressure. sunday morning came and i pulled the distributer and measured the length, to see if it was engaging the pump. and every thing checked out. so using the drill i did a series of tests for pressure and eventually found a flaw in the wiring diagram on my new rebuilt gauges. simply put they miss labeled the ground and sender terminals. so put everything back together and pressure!!!!. ran the engine for 10 minutes and reved it and my heater hose explodes in the dash!. apparently when i tightened it, the hose clamp got hung up on some metal. I had to hose down the interior. glad i didn't have the carpet in!!!. slapped on the other front fender and too some picts!
Hope it was worth the wait
