Lack of Oil
 

I have a 426 wedge I had blue printed in 1990 and am just now getting the project finnished. I pulled the distibuter and turned the oil pump to veirfy oil but am only getting oil on the drivers side of the heads, any suggestions would be apreiceated.
Thanks'

Have you tried turning the crank while priming, this should align the cam journal transfer passage with the other side. I think they line up when TDC on damper is at approx. 10+2:00.

You need a oil priming shaft to spin with a drill and rotate the motor like 500 suggested.

Agree with both replies above... Als ... Welcome to the forum.... Be sure to check out the Mopar of the Month contest

I agree X3 if you have an old dist. you can make a priming tool; welcome to the forum

And while you're at it make sure both rocker shafts are installed properly

I dont know if the older engines had the "notch" in the end of the shaft. The book says

Than you all for your imput and welcoming me to the Forum.
I am using a shaft and drill motor to turn the oil pump. The shafts do not have the notch mentioned, I have the Chilton hard cover book also and tried to figure this out on my own but needed this imput, I ordered a new long ratchet and a deep socket so I can spin the crank, I'll let you know what appens, Thanks' again.

Welcome!
