So Lucy is my 47 2N, she is not the strongest gal. I did my yearly power wash to get the dirt and tree gunk off her. As with every year afterwards she refused to run on all cylinders. I cleaned the plugs and
got her going but within 20 min she was skiping again so I parked her for a week and ordered new plugs. The plugs in her were 8 years old with lots of cleanings on them. The new plugs showed up and I gaped
them and put them in and with the push of the starter she refued to fire. I did the usual pulling of the distributor and cleaned and filed the points, checked the gap and put it back. I hit the starter and she
fird up rather nicley. But she sounded odd, I ran her 5 min before I noticed there was zero oil pressure. I killer her, checked the oil and she is full. So I cracked the oil filter open and recranked her, no
oil flow. What could have happened? She had 35 to 40 PSI before on a cool day and in the 20's on a really hot day. Any ideas? I know the oil pump is gear driven and not connected to the front mount
distrubutor. Help a girl out.
