When changing oil irs there a problem with 383 engine not priming without removing distributor and manual priming oil pump? Thanks in advance
sorry did not start engine just turned over with starter
This ^^^^^^^Oil plug in place? Oil Installed? Filter installed? You did prefill the filter?
On occasions I see "no pressure after oil change" in BB posts.
No way I'll put on an empty filter.
I fill it at least half way and spin it on quick. It will not be a huge mess and will take less time to fill up whether starting or just drill priming the engine.
IMO, A little drain back out of the filter can't hurt the pump prime.
