Did you prime the pump in a clean container of engine oil? Hal

Pump oil into the oil pressure gauge hole in the engine with a hand pump oil can. Use a piece of rubber hose to make a temporary connection to allow oil to enter the gallery. This will prime the system, and assure a chance for the pickup to suck new oil. (I would also put a squirt in each cylinder to lube the rings. JimN

Pump is on the #1 main bearing. There is a capscrew on the timing cover, inside will be a spring and ball bearing. Remove these and prime with some gear lube and try again. Losing prime is not uncommon in an N that has sat for a while
