Oil Pressure in SBC

[minendrews68]

I'd take a mechanical gauge and plumb it into the engine and see if you have pressure. It should show pressure just turning the engine over.

Thanks for the replies, yes it is a electric gauge and I didn't run it but about 5 to 10 seconds. I didn't see oil pressure and I went into panic mode and shut it off. I didn't hear any kind of noises so that makes me feel a little better. I had planned on going to autozone tomorrow and buying a cheap mechanical gauge and plumping it in and see what it shows. Thanks for the help.
