I had a local alternator shop repair it. They replaced the rectifier and<br>
regulator. We talked about how this happened (again) and he talked about<br>
having a flat battery and then jump starting and expecting the alternator<br>
to recharge the battery. Apparently this puts way too much stress on the<br>
alternator leading to premature failure. I don't exactly recall doing<br>
that recently, but I am probably guilty. I am so used to automatic turn<br>
off of lights and other modern conveniences...<br>

Subject: [6pack] Zero oil pressure<br>

So after a long 3 year total restoration I am at the stage of adding fluids and starting the car. A few hiccups... but one scary one. No oil pressure. Light stays on and gauge reads zero.
<br>
I ran the engine for short runs but still would not kick up the pressure. <br>
<br>
I wonder if having the oil drained the whole time allowed air in the pump. I researched and others said a new pump needs to be ?primed? with grease. I recall rebuilding mine years ago and vaguely recall priming it. So maybe that is my issue?<br>
<br>
I removed the oil pressure switch, squirted about 6oz of motor oil in there instead of jumping to dropping the oil pan.
<br>
But sadly that didn?t work. <br>
Is it possible the entire pump died?<br>
I didn?t do any engine work so has to be a bad pump. <br>
