oil pump (again)

Unknown

OK, guys. I know I have raised similar issues before, but I can't find

the relevant past responses in the archives.



Over the weekend I dropped the oil pan and replaced all 9 quarts of

oil, and repaired the little float that marks the oil level while I was

at it.



When I put everything back together, I couldn't get any oil pressure

reading.



I have tried priming the pump by removing the top cap and pouring in a

half cup or so of oil. No luck. I have checked to make sure I didn't

somehow block the intake in the oil sump. It's clear (that is, I can

suction up oil with ease using my mouth as a suction device (phewwey!)



What am I missing? This pump was working great before I did the oil

change.
