Re: 383 with no oil pressure
Question ..... Take the valve cover off and actually run the engine right? Not just crank it over.

Re: 383 with no oil pressure
If you lose oil pressure you will get lifter noise very quickly and serious engine damage soon after. If everything is smooth and quiet, it is probably the gauge. If you hear tapping, shut it down quickly. The tests others suggested work well and one of them should be done. I would rather use a different gauge because it is cleaner and it quantifies the pressure.
