If the distributor gear is trashed, then the distributor isn't turning and thus the oil pump isn't spinning, so no oil pressure
Thats the thing that bothers me....... when we turned it by hand the rotor still pointed to the #1 spark plug and the balancer mark lined up, so its not very out of synch...... when I turn the motor by hand the rotor moves, so the gears still do mesh at least some and enough that it stayed in synch with the rotor and timing mark...

Its gotta just be the gear, unless the sender took a dump at the same time.

I;ll call Mike right now.....
