Re: [Amc-list] My new oil pump adapater but no oil pressure

[Davis Martin <martin-davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When putting a new pump together you MUST pack it with Petrolium Jelly so it will prime.
   If you want better oil pressure I make a better pump

  I recently purchased a new oil pump adapter for my 67 Rebel 290 V8 which was recently overhauled last year. I wanted to rid of the old original near 90 degree flow oil adapter. I am aware that the new 45 degree flow will increase oil pressure from the old AMC plague, lack of oil pressure. I even went as far as putting a new oil pump gear/pump on with proper clearance, as well for the new adapter to make it all complete. Unfortunately I had it all together, I wasn't aware of having to prime the adapter with oil. The engine knocked for 5 seconds, I turned it off, turned over again, knocked again. So, no oil pressure. I then took the adapter off again, filled the adapater with oil, including the oil filter w/oil. I found this out after googling amc engine oil pumps (gear type). Now I'm paranoid. WIll it work? I am very hesitant to turn over the engine again. Is there anything else I need to do or I can do to ensure this new gear and oil adapter will start up with the 
proper oil pressure without ruining my engine? Any additional advice? Jayson
