Here's what I would do first to rule some things out.
Take an electric drill and a pump primer, yank the distributor out, and prime the oil pump. Pull the valve covers, and see if you get oil to the top of the engine and watch the oil pressure gauge. |
That's the first thing I would do and the easiest, be sure to spin the drill counter clockwise or in reverse.......
Then if you have pressure,check the "pin" on the gear on your distributor shaft, it could have sheared and you can't hardly tell by just looking at it....check the simple things first, then move on......
