Hey guys, my first post on this site. Im kinda new to the chevy thing, so bear with me. I resently aquired a 63 short bed stepside from my uncle, it has a 327 from a 65 vette, and the original granny 4 speed. after driving it arround for a while, i started to hear a slight distinctive knocking sound coming from the motor. so i drove it down to the chevy guy down the street and he said to hook up an oil pressure gauge, to make sure its not a bearing. I hooked it up and guess what? No oil pressure, and when you rev it, it barely creeps up to 20 psi. Soon im going to pull the motor, and get a closer look, but like I said, im new to the chevy world, so tips would be much appriciated.

thanks.
