Went to start my 70 300 Vert project and have no oil pressure. I'm guessing the oil pump quit on it. Last time I started it a couple of months ago it was fine. Not what I wanted to find.

The hex fitting on the oil pump drive shaft will also sometimes break off, but that is a rare failure.

Completely sure Will. The start up clatter didn't go away after a few seconds and when I pulled the dipstick the oil level was just like I pulled it cold.Are you sure you didn't have oil pressure? Jezebelle's oil light came on while driving, a couple times. Scared me to death. Shut her down and pilled off the road. Oil level OK, all looked good. Restarted and no engine noise even though the light stayed on. Then it went off and all was well.
It NEVER hurts to check it.How come @detmatt hasn't asked about checking your rod length...
Startup clatter?Completely sure Will. The start up clatter didn't go away after a few seconds and when I pulled the dipstick the oil level was just like I pulled it cold.
