Followed the suggestion of one of the Fordbarner, pouring oil down through output side of the full flow oil system, and removing the plugs. Got oil pressure on cranking right off. Mechanical oil pressure gauge.
This engine is going in the '40 and is 6 volt. Is 20#s oil pressure cranking a 6 volt system satisfactory ?
