oil pressure

[harry skalla <moweepea@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Clear DayHi all, this one has got me.I don't have any oil pressure!! Engine 
has about 60-70miles on it,(440 block) and the oil pressure was good. Idle 
about 20 lbs, cold it would go to about 60-70 lbs. Yesterday I started it up 
to wash it, and noticed there was no oil pressure. I checked the line and it 
had cracked, so I replaced the line , still no pressure, so I got another 
gauge, nothing. If I rev it up to about 3 grand it goes to about 25 lbs. 
Also the little plastic tubing, just has spots of oil, I mean there will be 
some oil an maybe a space and then some more oil, not a steady stream of oil 
in the tube.  Any ideas?  Could it be the pump? The engine doesn't sound any 
different then it did before, still sounds strong and no clatter  What's 
up?? Oil pump is new, it is a high volume  pump...
