After fixing an oil pressure issue, It Runs!

First time LS swapper here. Read many, many posts with multiple issues of people starting and running their swaps. I guess I feel fortunate that my swap started up right off the bat. The first start up came with a little hiccup though. No oil pressure! Fortunately, I installed a mechanical gauge on the oil cooler block off plate, so it only ran for a few seconds before I shut it down. After a little research, I concluded that the swap pan kit I used (98-02 Camaro) had an oil pick up tube with a one sided flange to bolt it down. Seems this was a bad engineering choice, LOL. Ordered a two bolt collar to get a more even clamping pressure, thew it back together, and fired it back up. Presto, I have oil pressure.

Sure sounds good out of the long tubes, even for stock.
