A guy I use to work with was putting a 4.2 long block into a 1998 f150 and died before he could finish it. The truck has sat for a while about 1 year since motor was put in but never cranked over. To make a long story short I was talking to his wife and asked if she wanted me to finish the job so her son would have a car. I had just done one on my dads truck a few years ago so knew a little about them.
Got it to my house and finished hooking all the wires and hoses up but it would not start. Found a no fuel problem and traced that to a bad fuel pump. Replaced it with on from a junk yard and motor fired right off.
I have only run it a few seconds and noticed another problem. It has good oil pressure when raced up but drops to zero at idle per dash gauge.
So where can I hook a good mechanical gauge to test oil pressure??? If I find the same condition of good pressure when raced up but zero at idle what do you suggest I look at next.
