RE: Need help with distributor timing

better hope its the sensor, how long has the engine been ran, didnt notice any funny sounds coming from it yet did you, if you start an engine and you show no oil pressure, shut it off immediately, rather be safe than sorry, make sure its just a bad electrical connection, and not an oil pump issue

Ok... I found the sensor and wiggled it but still no reading. I literally just installed the motor tonight with 0 time on it. I replaced everything including the high flow oil pump. It runs great for the last two minutes. What troubleshooting tips can somebody give me?
