your issue was due to using the Fbody O ring. its a thinner O ring used for the cars pick up tube. the trucks run the fat Red Oring.
my 408 had 60psi at idle

Just replaced a pump in a 06? 6.0 for low oil pressure (stuck regulator valve) and it had an orange/red oring. Check that valve while it's apart!
Great example pics George.... Sticky Thread with some cleaning up?
So since I am swapping to an f-body pan & pickup tube, I need to swap from my current red oring to the thinner blue one?
I'd make the red one fit... blue O ring is flimsy. I have one if you really want to use a blue one.Quote:

i learned the hard way. that was from the 408. fired it up got camera out and did my walk around. checked motor 2 minutes later and had no oil psi. i was freaking out. it had it on start up.. pulled it all apart and seen the O ring from the Fbody on there. orderd the big fatty and had great psi. what a pain it wasQuote:

It was better before. :laugh: Now I have to find out if I broke a wire or something in the OP sending unit. I pulled the oil return block off above the filter and oil poured out so there is oil flow. I am going to put a manual gauge on it tomorrow to verify there is pressure before going any further.
