In addition-
I disconnected the oil pressure line coming off the side of the block
and cranked the engine- no oil coming out of the line.
My old '62 MGA has been resting for two years in my garage, and I
finally got the nerve up to try getting it going again. Well, two new
batteries, a new starter, a cleaned engine ground, cleaned and gapped
points and the engine fires up fine. Small problem- no oil pressure!
Anyone ever have such a thing happen to them? When the car was put
away, it was running fine; no oil pressure issues.
The engine is a stock 1622 Mk II. It has an MGB filter adapator with a
replaceable canister filter that hangs down. It's got plenty of oil,
and the filter is full as I had to remove it to put on the new starter.
Thanks,
